Thanks for the suggestion Ant.
I completely agree with you +1.
I was thinking about the consensus-driven way of taking decision in the
OSS but I used the word "vote" instead. Consensus is more precise and
accurate since it reflects the decision-making model; voting is the
means to achieve that.
Updated...
1. Managing the code
a. Organize the project in small modules
b. Build and manage dependencies with Maven
c. Bug/Issue tracking system: JIRA
d. SVN
2. Decisions:
b. Mailing list for discussions
b.1 Consensus
b.2 Politeness is key
a. Proposals via Wiki
3. Documentation is very important
4. Anyone can contribute
a. No degree, no interview required.

I'm not sure whats intended for the detail in "2.b.1 Votes" but a key
point
in Apache projects is that decisions be based on _consensus_, so maybe
its
better to mention "Consensus" instead of "Votes" in that bullet point?
Voting can be a useful tool for gauging consensus but it doesn't by
itself
make consensus so can't be used on its own to make decisions.
