Hi all,
as we spoke about in the meeting, the idea is to enforce some process
to better control what's going on in trunk, to make it a viable
place to work against.

The idea is that if one works against trunk, he should be able to do
so in order to improve things, not about correcting other people
bugs or quick designs throwed in.

So, the idea is that every API change/addition requires:
* a wiki page with detail about design, principle, whatever
   is the driving idea, and about its implementation too
* a jira issue that refers the wiki page, where discussion
   about the change is held
* a voting process, where PMC members do vote on the jira
   issue, the usual way.

To avoid delays and lack of interest stopping evolution,
we suggest the following:
* 3 days after the proposal, changes can start on trunk unless there
   is already a negative comment which has not been addressed
* 15 days after the proposal, if no negative votes are there blocking
   the process, the change is automatically accepted.

This should give us the right balance between a too slow process,
and one totally uncontrolled.
Please provide feedback or vote :-)

Cheers
Andrea
