The first of the two proposed functions is the API Review one. We need a
person
or a team to be willing to look into any API we design that is meant to be
used by anyone except ourselves, and make sure that the API is consistent.
Soon, we'd also like to make sure that our API is backwards compatible, so
applications written with IoTivity version X will continue to compile and
work
with IoTivity version Y, provided Y >= X.

This team will probably be tasked with reviewing the existing API as well,
proposing changes, and establishing guidelines on how to review. The latter
point will impact releasing: when is the API review supposed to happen,
relative to the feature freeze and the releases? When is the API frozen for
a
given release? (note that Dino's release suggestion timetable had some
elements of this)

This is a technical function and the Function Lead is expected to be
knowledgeable of C and C++ API designs[*].

[*] the team may propose dropping the C++ API.
