We seem to have fallen off the list with this discussion. Chairmanship will rotate every 2 months and during that 2 months the person needs to be listed in the Wiki as a module owner?
I'm definitely concerned then that this will results in potentially stale documentation and a tremendous lack of historical perspective for the Mozilla Reps module itself. The Module system seems to exist largely to give each module a sense of historical perspective: the hows and whys of a module over time. Sure, there are other reasons too but the history of decisions around a module's path forward seems to me the largest loss if ownership changes hands every 2 months. -Lukas On Feb 20, 2013, at 6:45 AM, William Quiviger <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Feb 20, 2013, at 3:40 PM, Gervase Markham <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On 20/02/13 05:59, Lukas Blakk wrote: >>> If the chair of the council is a rotating position, I am a bit >>> concerned about module ownership churn.
