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.
From reading:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DefiningProjects
It looks pretty close to what you proposed except it uses the terms
"Ideas" and "Incubator Projects" instead of SIGs. Personally, I like
the simplicity of Greg's proposal of using only the terms SIG and
Project. Opinions?
Otherwise, I'll work to flesh-out the wiki page with the goal that this
topic can be discussed and official-ized at (or before) the next Board
meeting.
