You are mixing roles and collectives. C and CC are governance roles in
the Electorates for people who want to be involved in governance, and
Leader is one of the website roles in a CG, P, or UG for people who want
to work on the website and/or source repositories. There is no
connection between governance roles and website roles. You can have a
website role or a governance role or both.
See the roles & collectives doc:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/site-roles-collectives
That is the only document that outlines all of the roles and all of the
privileges for each role in all of the collectives for both governance
and website.
is inconsistent with that, and just introduces a manual point
of failure when you have to remember to manually restore the old status
if they stop being a Leader/Core Contributor.
Again, you are mixing roles and collectives. First, there is no
association between Leader/Core Contributor. You can have both roles or
you can have one or the other and there is no conflict or manual point
of failure. And second, if you have the governance role of Contributor
and then you get another governance role of Core Contributor on top of
that all you do is terminate the date of the C grant so the new CC grant
can start. Then when the CC grant expires in two years, the system
automatically inserts a new C grant because Contributor status is for
life. So what results over time is a clear and consistent record of each
governance role the user had complete with start/end dates.
I can update the user/admin documentation to explain the start/dates
easily enough. I`ll put it here:
