Thanks for the feedback James :-D I am in the strange situation of both writing/updating polices in the developers guide and then trying to follow them. I kind of wish another community member would do the initial write up (or at least review) so I do not end up with conflicting/interests.
I (correctly) feel that I am the problem that needs to be repressed; asking me to construct my own cage is not the best move. Either I end up doing too little (currently ISO Feature work is starting up for the third time with the end game plan not accounted for); or too much (the proposal template asks for so much information I am not sure anyone will use it).
