Good question :) IMHO it should work like this (or maybe: IMHO we should have something like the following -- if we name it "SIG" might be a different discussion): Extras, Legacy, Ambassadors, Docs, Core (?) and other "big" projects/PMC's to be started in the future are the "main" Fedora projects. When there is a large sub-area of work (to give the example of Extras: People that watch security lists and file bugs for open issues, people that take care of QA, people that are interested in reviewing and maintaining games or perl-stuff) then it can be handled by a special interest group (SIG) that should consist of at least three (five?) people. That SIG should have a leader and maybe a small (two or three people) "Board". The leader and/or the board report to the lead of the project/PMC (e.g. in the Extras case to FESCo).

Just my 2 cent that look at it from the Extras perspective. CU thl -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
