I suggest being very cautious with making "strong rules" in a volunteer community. While superficially they seem good at the time, our experience at TDF has been that strong rules made under challenging condition turn out to be problematic when conditions have changed, and can then be used disruptively. The more rules there are, the more games can be played with them. I especially liked something in your first idea: TDF should publicly endorse > this choice, stating that the project is now hosted on Github and the > development is managed by a company of the ecosystem but is – at the end > of the day – always LibreOffice Online I think this is the seed of a great approach which we could pursue in the context of the ingredient brand we have been evolving. It would need to be designed to apply to any relevant project, not just LOOL. We are more likely to see TDF's mission advanced by encouraging and supporting fellow community members who try to innovate than by discussing what others should do and then looking for those others! Cheers, Simon
