Yes, real time communication is useful, and is permitted, but the actual act of making/finalizing the decision is to be done on the mailing lists and recorded in the public mailing list archives. The expected answer to Geir's query is a mailing list archive url. In this case, a message saying "we discussed this in IRC, the major points pro/con were <pro>/<con> and we've agreed to do <decision>. You can see the full discussion at <url to relevant IRC log>.", would suffice.

Ideally yes, but real time communication with everyone together is damn useful.

can you point me to a reference to where the PMC made this decision?

I'm interested in the subject for it's own sake, and I'm also interested in figuring out where decisions are made in this project, since I didn't see this one go by on a mail list.

Geir, there was a decision made by the PMCs to change the transaction model to support partitioned databases. It is a change I am currently working on.

A Buddhist walks up to a hot-dog stand and says, "Make me one with everything". He then pays the vendor and asks for change. The vendor says, "Change comes from within".
