Are you willing to accept a majority decision on this?
If we go done this path lets do it properly. We setup a seperate
project specifically to converge
containerkit meta-info with excalibur/meta meta-info - the first thing
we post is the pitch documents - you prepare "why containerkit meta-info
is the best thing since sliced bread" and you also write up "why
excalibur/meta is the wrong thing" (short-term, long-term, whatever).
We go through a debate - one counter email from you, one counter email
from me.
We put it to a vote.
You and I are excluded from the vote - we leave it up to the community.
* if there is a majority off non-abstaining votes
- we undertake to support each other's work - i.e. mutual DTD
recognition
and management
- we mutually undertake to address concensus raised by the other
people here
- we mutually agree that vetos cannot be applied by you or I during the
decision process
- we update, we recall a vote
* if there is a majority of +1 (over abstain) for a particular solution
- if it containerkit you undertake to move the meta-info content into
a seperate module from containerkit and I will undertake to
synchronize
Merlin to that module and dispose of excalibur/meta
- if it is excalibur/meta you undertake to move the containerkit
solution
above it and dispose of cotainerkit's meta-info
* if there is a discussion process arrising from the process, you and I
both
agree that they are right and our options may influence the process
but we
update the common project even if you and I don't like it - we go out of
out way to compromise - the winner is the one who sucks-up the best
to the
future users
Are your ready?
Steve.
