Oh, that was your point. Mea culpa. Okay, to address that point, the way that the current system works is that a GLEP is sent to the GLEP editors, and assuming that it is not obviously going to be DOA it's generally added to the website. At that point, if they haven't already, the GLEP authors initiate a discussion on -dev that is supposed to be iterative. The authors are supposed to revise their proposal to account for comments and ideas from the community. When the authors feel it is ready, they ask for the GLEP to be approved. At that point the GLEP is sent to either a project lead (if it falls under a specific project) or the Council if it crosses project boundaries for approval. I assume that the only part of the process you would really wish to change is who does the approving, and perhaps removing the initial send-it-to-the-editors step. In reality, though, the approval process is rarely the rate-limiting step. In almost all cases, a stalled or failed GLEP either never gets sent for approval, or is approved but never gets implemented. -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
