That's why FESCo and similar committee's exists, to find the consensus.
In this case I'd even said that could have been found in less then ten
minutes in a meeting.
If we have to go to a committee before getting consensus on a simple
page rename we have failed in a pretty big way.
Okay, so that means that everyone/everyone involved in the website
content can go to the wiki now and move some things around where they
would like them to belong? Interesting approach. To you really want that?
I did not just go into the website and start renaming pages all of a
sudden. The discussions around reorganizing them was initiated by me
months back and I have tried several times again to form consensus.So
your description of what I did is pretty misleading. I dont think go to
FESCo is the right answer here at all.
P.S.: Sorry Rahul, but this kind of behavior is in my humble opinion
exactly what you should *not* do when you are a Red Hat employee. We
afaics want to get the community more involved in Fedora; but from the
outside this and similar stuff looks like "well, I tried to ask the
community, but they didn't find a consensus so I simply made what I
think is right without asking anyone again". That is totally the wrong
way to get the community involved. If you want to let the community do
work for the project you have to give them the feeling they are involved
in important decisions.
I am part of the community just the way you are. Artificially separating
this as a Red Hat or board vs community thing is very much damaging and
insulting to the work we do in our own time. If folks are bothered about
the change so much the right place to discuss this would have been as a
reply to my announcement to fedora-maintainers list. No one in FESCo did
and now you claim that this is somehow damaging the community involved
which I find unnecessarily dramatic. If you are making a personal
opinion that's fine. If you are speaking for the community in general
you need to be sure that more people carry the same opinion in this matter.
