Re: A few thoughts on Process 2 cents

Sorry about that. I was actually kind of interested in whether the
'process' aspect of admin (and possibly other contrib apps?) had
undergone any changes, given that I've heard some sentiment about
people hoping contrib was 'approaching zero'.

Please don't derail threads with unrelated topics like this. It makes
discussions really hard to follow. Thanks.

Yes, I agree that as we start to open up more it'll make a lot more
sense to have more area-specific committers. If someone's well-versed
in the admin, a lack of interest in the ORM certainly shouldn't be an
issue.

A few thoughts on Process 2 cents

2010-09-29 Thread dartdog
I attended a Wordcamp recently (yeh, the dark side) but I was very
interested that they only have 7-8 core comitters they add feature
specific people for short, release cycles for specific features,, that
sounds sort of odd,, but I think the most interesting thing was that
that sub divide the responsibility to a large degree so that it is
clearer to the outside who does which area. So DB is on person Front-
end another admin another, of course there is overlap. but I think
that might be worth exploring as an element of scaling so that not all
issues are treated as core.. Increasingly there will be more and more
subsystems that can have something of their own teams??

According to the Wordpress comitter @nacin , Drupal has only 4 or
so...

So by these metrics Django's 14 or so looks pretty good...

So maybe subdividing the areas of responsibility might help? I know it
is generally recognized that certain comitters have specific expertise
but it might make it easier to shore up some of the bus areas like the
orm as well if the teams are more clearly understood?

Clearly I'm new and have no current aspirations to committing (still
working on using!)
