Right after reminding us that steering committee (FDSCo) elections are due right away[1], Paul asked on IRC this morning if we should consider reverting to a SIG status: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DefiningProjects#SIGs I have concerns about that reverting concept based on the way a SIG and a project are described there, but I think I have a grasp on what Paul is saying. A SIG has fewer requirements for leadership to do stuff such as: * Hold and attend regular meetings * Hold elections * Report across to other projects in a predictable manner We don't seem to be doing any of those three very well. I'd be tempted to follow the Fedora guideline of "when you cease being effective as a leader, quit and get out of the way." Another option is for more of us (including me!) to be stronger leaders and embrace the role of making the project details work, to support all of you in the great work you are doing. Regardless, these are matters that shouldn't directly affect our ability to produce content. But they do affect how we move into the future. So far, being a project seems to have helped our growth and focus. What next? A. Revitalize the Docs Project leadership, hold elections, and keep things moving ... or ... B. Reduce complexity and scope of leadership to focus on a SIG and just getting stuff done I've been trying to find my way back to A, and if that is our consensus, I'll work harder at making it happen. thx - Karsten [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Policy/FDSCoElections -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
