You're misunderstanding me, and I'll assume for now that it's not wilful, although it seems increasingly likely to me that there's a continuation of an earlier witch-hunt in progress here. I sense a belief here that I am trying to "carve out control for Sun" here. I am not. My concern is that a bias against "marketing" by some members of the OGB is leading to unwise, skewed and discriminatory decisions that are not in the best interest of the community. I am saying that at present there are many elements in the web site - news & blog feeds, graphics, style sheets, just for example - and that as far as I can see the new, OGB-created structure of Website CG and review committee has no place in which they can be created or managed by people with content expertise. Similarly, although there is a committee to review the work of editors, there is no place for editors to do their work of arranging and adjusting content for the greatest value. Hence I assert that there no community group to manage this content and contribution. Hence I assert it is non-CG originated. I assume the OGB is implying that all this stuff is of no consequence, or so easy any community member can be expected to create it from nothing without recognition. I suggest that view is incorrect, and there is a great big hole in your plans. When you hacked Alan B's proposal, you left a part on the floor. > Until it's been proven otherwise, I'm going to assume that the people > chosen for the committee are reasonable people who can make some > reasonable choices. Except Rich has explicitly stated he does not expect the OGB committee to do anything other than audit the work of others. He does not envisage them editing HTML, it seems, or designing style sheets, or devising colour schemes, or selecting articles for display, or indeed editing them to maintain quality standards. S.
