All,
I have seen multiple instances in the last few weeks of announcements
being made without any prior list discussion.
Please can I remind all members of the Dubbo community that project
decisions must be made on list. That typically means:
- there is a proposal
- there is a discussion
- the discussion reaches a consensus (rarely, a VOTE is held)
- the consensus is announced as a decision of the project
Normally, the above steps would take place on the dev@ list. Depending
on circumstances, it could also occur in other locations such as the
issue tracker. Whereever it does happen, it must be a public forum and
the whole community must have an opportunity to contribute to the
discussion.
Mark
