I'm replying to Jim's e-mail from 10 days ago. It took me that long to get to the end. ;)
I think this debate steered off into TELS/LOOPS/CLEAR territory, which isn't what SAIL is. Scott raised this point earlier in the thread and I'd like to echo it. SAIL is not TELS. Or LOOPS or any other funded project. It's a growing community of technologists and researchers who want to make educational technology that is available for anyone to use and modify, and in particular, easily adapt for their research questions. I propose (not solely) that our next retreat be about this community and not any technology or deliverable in particular. We have grown and we have more people still joining us. It's time to take a step back and figure out again what this community is about and how we're going to achieve that. For example, do we: - modularize sail-core to the point that there is no more *core* - bring in a messaging system to ease inter-operation of components - have policies for who gets commit access - subject code to peer review - have policies for what gets to be called a SAIL project - have procedures for welcoming new participants to the community What do people think of that sort of retreat? -Turadg p.s. maybe we should move this from SAIL-Dev to SAIL-Discuss? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SAIL-Dev" group.
