Hi folks,
There are two problems we should address regarding the growth and change
to the HOT specification.
First our +2/+A process for normal changes doesn't totally make sense
for hot_spec.rst. We generally have some informal bar for controversial
changes (of which changes to hot_spec.rst is generally considered:). I
would suggest raising the bar on hot_spec.rst to at-least what is
required for a heat-core team addition (currently 5 approval votes).
This gives folks plenty of time to review and make sure the heat core
team is committed to the changes, rather then a very small 2 member
subset. Of course a -2 vote from any heat-core would terminate the
review as usual.
Second, There is a window where we say "hey we want this sweet new
functionality" yet it remains "unimplemented". I suggest we create some
special tag for these intrinsics/sections/features, so folks know they
are unimplemented and NOT officially part of the specification until
that is the case.
We can call this tag something simple like
"*standardization_pending_implementation* for each section which is
unimplemented. A review which proposes this semantic is here:
https://review.openstack.org/85610
This part sounds highly problematic to me.
I agree with you and Thomas S that using Gerrit to review proposed
specifications is a nice workflow, even if the "proper" place to do this
is on the wiki and linked to a blueprint. I would probably go along with
everything you suggested provided that anything pending implementation
goes in a separate file or files that are _not_ included in the
generated docs.
cheers,
Zane.
My goal is not to add more review work to people's time, but I really
believe any changes to the HOT specification have a profound impact on
all things Heat, and we should take special care when considering these
changes.
Thoughts or concerns?
Regards,
-steve
