Jef has some hot ideas here so I'm OK with him co-opting the SIG usage/namespace. However, it has had a historical meaning in Fedora and what do we replace that with? SIG has meant, a group starting around something that wasn't ready to go through the formal project process: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DefiningProjects "A SIG earns official project status through successful accomplishment of objectives that warrant more prominence in the Fedora Project. If contributors request it, the parent project or the Fedora Project Board will evaluate the SIG's progress reports and make a determination of readiness for this stage. At this point, it may be branded with the Fedora name and promoted to the full status of a Fedora project. It can join the ranks of the most valuable initiatives currently leading the Fedora Project." What do we call that incubation stage? I ask because we just voted yesterday to form the Marketing SIG, but Jef is reasonably arguing that Docs, Marketing, etc. are support services in his new SIG model. OTOH, I'm sure that if, at this stage, we had to follow all the project definition rules to get an official "Marketing Project", we'd bury half the interested people and lose a lot of momentum. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
