Ton, > Feedback welcome
The wiki Modules/Roles page *currently* describes *three* roles for contributors, "Owners", "Developers", and "Members." This new document states that "within a module there are *two* roles; the "owners" and the "members". The day of this document's release I asked you on #blender-coders for clarification: "That doc says "there are two roles" in modules, Owners and Members. So that is an explicit change from our current Owners, Developers, and Members?" Your answer was "yep. for a short while a module only had one owner. this is basically back to what it was before." I answered that "I like that change, in that there was always fuzzy overlap between Members and Developers. Only asking because the doc doesn't announce that change much, with something like "Within a module there are now only two roles..." You answered that "owner is empowered to commit and add members. artists can be member too. very simple!" so this seemed like clear direction. I am absolutely not complaining that I waited two weeks, announced that I would edit the pages to reflect this change, did so, and was made to revert it. This is volunteer work so I really don't mind if work is not used. But should this editing not be done by *someone* though? I love this project, but a lot of our communication is a bit... awkward. We expect newcomers to land on our wiki and somehow know that we work in "Modules", and so to follow a link to "components and their owners" for an Organizational Chart. Then they get an odd distinction between overlapping "Members" and "Developers" that is not really explained well on the Roles page. Now we get a change to that which is either not clear, or just not followed. So again, not complaining, just wanting some clarification as I look for ways to help with this.
