Maybe having a GSIP like process with deadlines would be nice. That is, something like "vote this in two weeks or it'll automatically be approved". On the other side, the rule should also be "introduce major new api without a proposal and you'll get kicked out before even noticing!". Guess this defends the interest of those wanting changes, and also those who does not want nilly willy ones. >> One thing I've been doing in uDig is making blocker JIRA issues for >> proposed changes so that they will be either voted down or somehow >> addressed fairly quickly.

Searching through >> issues is also nicely supported. But creating decent documents is not supported. Sometimes a proposal needs some better formatting because it's trying to propose something complex (may need pictures too). So I'd like to have both, jira and wiki page. Wiki page may disappear all right, maybe we can export the page once the proposal is accepted/rejected. The other advantage I see is that wiki is versioned and it's vendor neutral, we don't have to fight for a file format. >> We can create a issue category that is forproposals, and conversations >> can take place on those items.

Yeah.... is there any way to configure jira to send comment mails to the list for a specific category?
