In the last meeting - and sporadically in the past - we discussed removing accounts from the docs FAS groups that haven't been active in a while. Many organizations have a policy of removing commit access for users that have left the project. Besides the potential security issues with accounts that might not be under control, it just makes sense that people looking for a contact in a given capacity should see a list of people that are actually active in that capacity. The proposal that came out of the meeting was to remove accounts from the docs, docs-writers, and docs-publishers groups after 12 months of inactivity. If we reach a consensus, I'll look at some of the methods used in other groups ( last FAS login, last commit, etc ) and remove unused accounts from these groups, and then do so again... every so often. Maybe once per release cycle. If a deprivileged user happens to be a Guide owner, or if a Guide owner is observably unresponsive, I think we should make a reasonable attempt to contact them before removing their privileges. We'll have to discuss the future of the Guide as a group, assign a default bz contact, as part of the process, not just remove them from the groups. Finally, affected users should know that they're still welcome in the group, and they need only ask for sponsorship. Please discuss, opine, or complain about the idea now; we'll vote on it during the 21July meeting. -- -- Pete Travis - Fedora Docs Project Leader - 'randomuser' on freenode - immanetize@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
