Some people from the committee may be interested in participating in the Website CG proposal process and then if that CG is approved they may be interested in participating in the new CG. They are already exploring website issues and volunteered to participate in an editorial function so we should leverage that and build on that. > * disband the Website Community Group > If you are referring to the OGB's approval of the OGB-modified version of Alan's proposal, yes, I agree, we should disband it (though it's never been set up so dis-banding is just a formality). We should start from Alan's updated proposal issued on Nov 29th. I added a link from your OGB_2008/008 document to Alan's updated proposal, and I also posted a new page to start editing from that revised proposal: http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Website_Community_Group_Proposal_2008 > * recharter the Website Community Group under the terms of AlanB's > original proposal with the following editorial fixes applied: > Original proposal, on the 27th: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-November/003495.html Updated proposal on the 29th: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-November/003542.html I suggest we start from the updated version. > * > o Replace 'Community' with 'Community Group' throughout the > proposal, and replace 'promote' with 'restructure' > o Change 'Community Leaders' to 'Core Contributors' as the > proposal intended > I'm fine with those changes. /End insert/ > Please consider the text on this wiki page to be an extremely > malleable starting point for discussion.

In other words, get the CG properly scoped, voted, approved, and opened, and then let the properly skilled people gather around and write an editorial policy for opensolairs.org. > If Alan agrees, I (personally) would also like to be > considered as a potential core contributer in this CG. > I think we ought to re-evaluate Alan's original list of founding members. Some may not be interested at this point and others may be. Also, Derek Cicero and Michelle Olson should be added to the founding members list since both hold key positions with respect to both content and operations around opensolaris.org.
