Alan,
Thanks for creating this genunix page. I just made a few minor editorial
changes. One question: What do you mean by "overview" in the following
text? Do you mean "review"?
Other (faster) approval mechanisms need to be developed for well-defined
types of change. For example, the content of the RSS-fed sections change
rapidly without overview.
Also, what is our group called? You're referring to us as the
"OpenSolaris Website Editorial Board." I thought we were called the
"OpenSolaris Editorial Committee."

Upon re-reading this it occurs to me that it would be even better
if I actually told you the URL of the new wiki page:

Doh!

I've created a page in the genunix.org wiki for the Editorial
Board aimed at answering the question "Who needs to approve
this change and how do I get that approval?" (a question I've
been asked a few times since we've failed to explain this well
so far).
I've put up a draft of an approval process for others to review.
It's a wiki, so if other board members want to edit, please do,
especially filling in more parts of the site we don't want to get
in the way of changes to. (So far I've listed that we're not
involved in probably 95%+ of the site changes, since we don't have
authority over community & project web pages. Raising that number
is a good thing.)
Of course, after typing in most of that, I then found the previous
page explaining the site approval process, which we'd all forgotten
about at the time the Indiana webpage change issue was in our faces,
and which is quite a bit out of date:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/site_guidelines/
Perhaps we'll work on an update to that once we've finished setting
up the new process.
Remember, no one has done this before, so it's up to us to set the
rules we want and decide what we're going to do, but if we spend
too much longer doing nothing, we're just a roadblock that needs to
be removed.
