So why is new project formation out of control? My theory: because we're not enforcing any guidelines on their creation -- even limited guidelines. We're just wringing our hands after the fact. Here's the simplest possible guidelines I can imagine -- and the simplest possible guidelines are almost always the best. :) 1. Community members are allowed to create Fedora SIGs. Create them, announce them, rally support around them. Do whatever you like. 2. Fedora Projects may *only* be announced by the Fedora Board. 3. State this policy on fedora-announce-list, and make it prominent on the wiki. 4. Anyone who violates this simple policy will be corrected as quickly as possible, and asked to go back to everywhere they announced it and announce the corrected truth: "oops, I created a SIG, not a project. Sorry." Simplicty and consistency. That's what makes rules stick. --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors ------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
