I was talking about 2 or 3 'tasked' designs... the key here being 'tasked'... where specific people are asked to report back within constraints. The 5 -6 modifications we saw from people committed to the discussion after the single 'tasked' design is modification feedback. Those aren't the people I'm trying to address in step 2. When presented with a choice, casual and yet opinionated observers I feel are more likely to give feedback of the form "I like A over B" instead of simply "the single choice blows monkey chunks, i hate you..die." I want a process that fights the tendency to reach backwards as new people discover the discussion half-way through the process but still gives those people a way to voice an opinion that is constructive in aggregate and does not make them feel excluded. Is what I propose in step 2 strictly necessary to get the job done.. no. In most cases the duplication of effort is just going to be awash, every tasked item should be equally palatable to the community at large. I know and you know that these sort of non-technical touchy-feely decisions have multiple reasonable solutions, and that the bar to be met is "good enough." The problem is the 90% of the community doesn't necessarily get that. The processes we use need to make the general community feel/taste/see the same thing that we as englightened indviduals "know". I believe a little duplication at the task assignment step dampens whatever rash and irrational accusations about process exclusion find their way into the larger community who have no been following the process discussion and helps prevent the appearence that final solutions are being completely dictated. -jef But I feel the extra effort appeases the ever present demons of general community upkeep over the decision making process. -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
