Working Groups

[xlc]

I would like to discuss if we should introduce working groups to the fellowship process. Some ideas:

• Possible working groups: Frame, XCM + Bridge, JAM, Quality and Assurance, Release
• We could have ad hoc ones like one for the AH migration
• Two ranks in a WP: leader, and participant. A WP can have multiple leaders (just not too many)
• Anyone can join / leave a WP as participant at any time
• Active Rank 3+ members are required to be an active participant of at least one WP
• Active Rank 5+ members are required to be a leader of at least one WP
• Active participants are expected to:
  • Provide technical support
  • Development & maintenance of related code
  • Participate related technical discussion
  • Review related RFC
• Leaders are expected to
  • Design and plan related works
  • Make decisions
  • Collaborate with other WG
  • Support participants

Each WP should have a public discussion channel and people can use it to seek related technical support

Fully support this!

So the consensus is that we should do this as a social collaboration mechanism. No need to make any manifesto level changes (i.e. no change on retain/promote requirements). I think we can move it to the next step.
