I think the current structure of the team is very vague and we could do with defining things a bit better. Currently decisions are made by discussing things until we can reach a consensus. When this works I think it is the best way to work but we are eventually going to come up against a decision where we can't reach a consensus and then we need to have some alternative. I'm in favor of keeping the team as loose as possible but would like to define who has a vote if we can't reach a consensus.

Are there any objections or can we get a volunteer to look after it and link to it from the main team wiki page?

If there is someone willing to do something do they really need to get approval? I think that is only required where you want other people to do something (though it is still good to discuss all plans). ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ormiret.com Growing old is inevitable, growing up optional. -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
