So that everyone affected by these proposals has the opportunity to
engage in the discussion, I recommend that we pull these out of e-mail for a
while and ask everyone who has a new "plan" for the incubator to draft
proposals on the wiki as Chris did. At that point, we could have a bake-off
discussion where the community has the ability to evaluate and chime in with
their concerns/comments/suggestions.
Funny you mention it, the Incubator itself was the product of a bake off
between two proposed resolutions, still recorded in the board minutes :)

Interesting. What are your thoughts on using this approach for our current
discussion?
As I said, staying abreast of all the threads where these discussions are
occurring is difficult
at best and I feel like some are treating certain ideas as foregone conclusions
because the
entire community hasn't been given the time and opportunity to engage without
joining
the melee. In the end, I imagine we will end up compromising, but I think it
is important
to take a step back and let others propose a few strategies without it adding
to the current frenzy.
Thanks for voicing this Matt, I can't agree more.
Last weeks discussions on general@ (and private) really were impossible to
follow with everyone jumping the gun or at each others troat, thread hijacking,
too many half-baked/refined/opposed/amended/etc. proposals to booth.
And it seemed like some were even trying to turn that mess to their advantage by
trying to 'force' some conclusions or at least make it seem so.
What *is* this rush about, so all of the sudden?
There surely is a lot to improve, but rushing into half-backed and not properly
thought through radical changes doesn't make sense to me.
So, taking a step back, and have the proposers draft up a comprehensible story
first, and *please* not on this list but on the wiki, really would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ate
