I have some questions and comments, plus a long list of edits and trivia. I'll put the latter in a separate message tomorrow.
Introduction - '*Be collaborative.* Working together on the open lists to make decisions helps the project grow.' -- Does 'open lists' mean the mailing lists? How about 'open mailing lists, JIRA, and review board'? (or 'bug database' instead of JIRA) Committers - Please explain active vs. emeritus, for example by adding a sentence such as 'Emeritus committers are inactive and lose their ability to commit code or cast binding votes.' - Are emeritus committers removed from the Apache committers mailing list? Release Manager - Why must release managers be committers? (In Hive that's not required.) - 'The RM shall publish a Release Plan on the dev mailing list' -- Note that the Actions section doesn't include release plans, so this sentence implies that the RM makes all the decisions. Project Management Committee - Again, explain active vs. emeritus. - Are emeritus PMC members taken off the private mailing list? Voting - Although it's hedged with 'In general ...', I have qualms about saying a +1 vote indicates willingness to make it happen. I've already given some +1 votes on the Orc project without any intention of lifting a finger to take the action. [DISCUSS] - Why no vanilla '0' vote, as well as '+0' and '-0'? [DISCUSS] - 'Non binding votes are still useful for those with binding votes to understand the perception of an action in the wider Orc community.' -- -- Lefty On Tue, Jul 14, 2015 at 12:26 AM, Lefty Leverenz <[email protected]> wrote: > Is the name officially "Orc" instead of "ORC"? > > > -- Lefty > > On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 3:11 PM, Sandryhaila, Aliaksei < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> +1 >> >> On 07/06/2015 11:25 PM, Owen O'Malley wrote: >> > Although a community of Orcs seems unlikely to have any rules (other >> than >> > the strongest one makes the rules), Apache projects are supposed to >> create >> > a set.
