I have created a draft of the graduation board resolution [1] and would like to get
feedback from the community regarding the proposal; specifically, the wording of
the description& scope. Ate made a great point that we need to ensure it is
narrow enough that we can execute against it, but broad enough to include future
use cases. The rest of the template was filled out with the result of PPMC
discussions held on rave-private@
Thanks for drafting up the charter Matt.
The crucial part of the charter we should agree upon is indeed the description
of the *scope* of the project.
The proposed text currently is:
[..] "a widget-based, web-and-social mashup and user experience platform" [..]
While definitely a good description for the scope, I would still like to propose
a very minor but possible important change, like this:
"a widgets, web-and-social mashup and user experience platform"
The reason for this slight change is that saying "a widget-based, [...]" might
be interpreted as if Rave at least assumes/requires widgets to be used.
I *think* (but this really is about semantics and grammar, in a non-native
language for me), my proposed change makes it more optional to use widgets, as
just one possible feature of the platform.
IMO 'a web-and-social mashup and user experience platform' (thus without
using/requiring widgets) also very much fits the bill for Rave.
WDYT?
Regards, Ate
Once we have an agreed upon resolution, we can call a community VOTE for
Graduation and proceed with the process.
Let's get ready to graduate!
