Charley and I have been working on the Application for the Watir project to
join the Software Freedom Conservancy.

To me there are two questions on the application that are particularly
difficult and which will require some discussion.

1. Which repositories will be part of the project?

Watir/FireWatir/CommonWatir are definitely in. I also think we should be
including WatirSpec  and Watir-WebDriver. Others?

2. How are decisions made?

One of the points of the Conservancy is to have a place to keep our money
and that means that some one has to be making decisions about how to spend
it. To me, this would mean that we'd need to have a board which would be the
final authority for things such as spending money as well as commit rights.

I also think we have a couple of overlapping decision bodies. A community
team that makes decisions regarding the website and community resources and
a development team for each repository making decisions about it.

I would appreciate your thoughts on these topics. I will eventually make a
more detailed proposal, but it's good to hear what people might think first.
