Arguably the ONLY thing the council does is interfere with individual |
6 |
projects - that is its sole reason for existence. The DevRel project |
7 |
already settles disputes, the PMS project already designs EAPIs, and |
8 |
so on. |

However, projects are self-governing and this creates the potential |
11 |
issue of clashes with the needs of the distro as a whole, so we have a |
12 |
Council as an appeal of last resort. A project's decision does not |
13 |
necessarily speak for the whole distro - the Council does. |

If the Council were to completely refrain from interfering with |
16 |
projects, it could accomplish nothing. |

This is of course the correct initial step. Work within the projects |
22 |
until an issue actually arises. However, I could easily see the |
23 |
Council getting involved here, as this would impact both the GLDP and |
24 |
the Wiki projects. |

That said, I think this is a good idea - why have our documentation |
27 |
split in two? |
