I'd like to call this topic up again - see http://blog.melchua.com/2009/10/23/slobs-coming-up-with-a-decision-making-process/ for the latest blog post on the subject. It's my hope that we'll be able to finish this* at our next SLOBs meeting a week from today.
Please share your thoughts! --Mel *not set it in stone, but release a first version of our decisionmaking process, if you will, and start to use it.
