Jim, if you also proof, given your experience in this area
I have linked it into the web site layout in the google doc, I'll be
working all the key sections one by one to get us going for launch.
I assume code doesn't mean code as in software, but some sort of
community code?
One concern I have is that this seems to enforce that all projects are
managed via consensus. But many existing (and successful) Open Source
projects don't use an Apache-style consensus model but rather rely on a
benevolent dictatorship or some variation thereof.
I think it's fine to use a consensus model for oVirt business, but I
think it's important to allow sub projects to use other types of
leadership models. Otherwise you're excluding large parts of the
existing community, most notably, libvirt, QEMU, and KVM.
So I think for project specific things (like whether a project is ready
for a release) needs to be completely deferred to the sub project.
If the sub project needs to somehow codify how it makes decisions,
that's fine, but the sub project should ultimately have the say over how
it makes decisions.

Anthony Liguori
thx
Carl.
