1 | One of the decisions of the last council meeting [1] was that we will |
2 | refresh GLEP 39 [2]. This came from the discussions on voting by email |
3 | and the realization that making this happen would constitute a change |
4 | of GLEP 39 which requires an all-developer vote. We decided that if we |
5 | had to set up an all-developer vote then we'd rather make it worth our |
6 | while and make a certain number of changes that have been in the air |
7 | for some time. |
8 | |
9 | The council will end up doing the rewriting but I proposed that we all |
10 | discussed a certain number of topics before that happens. The idea is |
11 | the more the new text fits the developers' needs and wishes the better |
12 | the chances will be for it to be useful and to last a while. I have |
13 | gathered a list of topics from various sources (see below). The goal |
14 | is to have that done and voted before the next council elections. |
15 | |
16 | Each topic below will have its own thread so that we can discuss them |
17 | independently. I have grouped some topics when it made sense they were |
18 | discussed together. If you want to add a topic simply reply to this |
19 | thread and we'll add it or merge it with another. |
20 | |
21 | - Voting by email, proxies and slacker rule. [3] |
22 | |
23 | - Should the new text be a GLEP, or something else? [4] |
24 | |
25 | - Does the council need a lead? [5] |
26 | |
27 | - Do we want to make changes to the role of the council? [6] |
28 | |
29 | - List various minor fixes to the current text. [7] |
30 | |
31 | - Voting the new text, schedule and practical issues. [8] |
32 | |
33 | As usual I will avoid posting my opinion on these topics too early in |
34 | the process so as not to bias discussions. |
