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
One technical question: Some of the contributors may find themselves
difficult to express their ideas in English.
Is there some way to help them? What I can think is:
1. Chinese follows English on the mailing list
2. Another Chinese public channel (e.g. gitter) to discuss, and then
back to mailing list
3. Using English anyway
What do you guys think?
What I have recommended in the past is:
- express the problem as best you can in English (if that is not at all,
that is fine)
- then repeat but using your native language
A combination of the above and Google translate is nearly always enough
for someone familiar with the topic to work out what is meant.
Once the project decides how it wants to handle this, it needs to be
added, in multiple languages, to the relevant project pages on how to
contribute / participate.

- 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.
