Hello! |
2 |
I am fairly new to this project and of course don't know all the difficulties, |
3 |
which you might have faced lately, but still I'd like to make as some |
4 |
questions on this plan. |
5 |
|
6 |
First of all, the whole thing sounds quite nice. Especially cause it seems to |
7 |
bring some order and also some understanding who's responsible for what, and |
8 |
whom you need to contact in case you have this or other trouble. |
9 |
|
10 |
Secondly, in a number of places you point out such thing as 'accountability'. |
11 |
Of course it is extremely important, but this is an Open Source project |
12 |
(AFAIK) and I don't actually see how you're planning to enforce responsibity |
13 |
for meeting project goals and deadlines. |
14 |
|
15 |
Then, you say: |
16 |
|
17 |
"Both the scope and any necessary decision-making authority must be |
18 |
agreed upon by both the chief architect and project members." |
19 |
|
20 |
How do you actually see this being done? While all project members and 'chief |
21 |
architect' and top level guys will most likely have the same intuitive |
22 |
understanding of what needs to be done, it'' be hard to agree upon a certain |
23 |
formal plan/definition. I am not trying to imply, that I don't like the idea. |
24 |
What I'm trying probably you need to elaborate on some procedures of reaching |
25 |
this agreement. |
26 |
|
27 |
Ok, something else. You mention mailing list and IRC channel. However, you |
28 |
don't specify if they are gonna be opened for everyone to read listen, or |
29 |
not. I believe, it is extremely important for everyone - both devs and users |
30 |
to see what is going on in the management of the project. In the end of the |
31 |
day most people are volunteers and don't want to find thmesleves one day in |
32 |
situation when top managers, just bring them ready decision, which they've |
33 |
never had a chance to comment on. |
