Guys and girls,
I just received an email within the Brazilian community promoting
Damien's "usability" project.
We better stop discussing and enforce the policy asap.
I also agree with the simplicity put in this email.
Best,

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.
