Hey, I've talked to Jukka regarding proposals sent to clc which are forgotten after some time, and was wondering whether there are opinions regarding a policy to submit proposals which are automatically accepted after a while, if there's a certain amount of acceptance. The procedure I imagine would look like the following: 1. Submit a proposal, e.g. to cvstrac 2a discussion takes place 2b silent agreement (;-)) 4. Adjust proposal, call for vote 5a Interested maintainers vote (-1, 0, +1) there 6. After a certain time (for example 2 weeks), the proposal is either accepted or rejected I know this sounds very bureaucratic, but IMHO it's worse to make good proposals and be commited to solve existing problems and just being ignored. Please note that this is not at all meant as a criticism, just attempt to cope with reality :-) Ideas for such proposals are: - define a naming scheme for perl related ports (p5- vs- perl-); from Jukka - The guidelines about changing other maintainer's Job from Sten - "port of the week"; put up a webpage where extraordinary nice ports are published (no lengthy desciption). I e.g. discovered dnsmasq which I find _very_ handy, easy to use and working fine. Please comment :-) Kind regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net
