Beginning to sniff > bureaucracy? I was just writing up some more about the roles, and realized that this might be true, that it's a lot of silly bureaucracy right now. The idea was to just make proper the role that most of us are taking right now, doing the kind of work I figure the editorial board will be in charge of. At the moment we can do it ad-hoc on the list, but hopefully we will get too busy to handle that, and having a process in place around how discussions and decisions are handled will be a very good thing. As an analogy, in construction you might leave a hot and cold water pipe with a drain capped off in a utility closet, as stubs you can tie into later to turn into a laundry sink. Programmers do this with code stubs. Think of this as an editorial board stub, useful for when we need it. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, Tech Writer a lemon is just a melon in disguise http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41
