IMHO the biggest problem with "onboarding" is that people create new terms 
without specifying what they actually mean and thereby fail to see the 
relationship with existing work.

Back at the beginning of ACE it was clear that onboarding was an entire project 
of itself.  That's why I argued to keep it out of the first charter.

Onboarding suffers from a tendancy to boil the ocean, combined with the
elephant/blind-men problem.    The way to tackle onboarding is not with
a single unifying ocean boiling protocol, but rather by letting each interested 
party define small protocols, and over time find commonality.
I get the vision of:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibbler

So while it is unfortunate if some implementers feel to be "in the dark", 
before we could rectify that situation, we'd have to know which implementers we 
are worried about.
