I was merely giving examples of community changes that happened recently. The intention was not to say that these changes were not handled well.

Exactly. So, even though it was a community change, you ended up using the System Change process---because no community change process is currently in place. > I feel like the list of examples you gave requires more details to > understand the issues to solve. > The community may understand the reasons to have some subjects moving fast > with a limited team, while other requires more communication for people to > understand the reasoning behind it. > > Is the global issue more related to decision-making or to change management? It is both. All community changes would benefit from a defined process/method/system/whatever we call it. In general, while the primary stakeholders are the ones that make the decisions in any changes, the idea is that the community as a whole should be aware, and have the chance to either participate in the change if they feel they have the necessary know-how or simply prepare themselves by learning the new processes/tools that they may need to work with in the future. (I was not involved in the Weblate change at all. My only stake in the process was to be aware that we were moving to a new platform so that if newcomers came to the Fedora-Join SIG who were interested in translation, I knew where to point them.) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
