[sakai-pmc] Meta-thoughts about Proposals

[May, Megan Marie]

I think that once a proposal matures into a decision that it should be widely shared.     If the next release is going to be Sakai 10, that is something the entire community should know!      It's more about ensuring there is an informed community rather than creating transparency.

The entire community shouldn't need to monitor the dev list; rather the CC should be surfacing key topics.

Sakai-dev is wide open, has been our most active list for a decade, and is where dev changes have traditionally been discussed.  If you want to encourage people that are not members of sakai-dev to get involved, by all means, do it.  But I don't see how requiring cross-posting will achieve improved transparency.  I would instead suggest that you post to these various lists that being a member of sakai-dev is encouraged if people want to stay up to date on Sakai development and changes. If someone is only subscribed to the pedagogy list but really wanted to know about upcoming dev, then they are lost and need your help.

Hi PMC,

There have been two important proposals in the last week. I think the selection of which lists to which to post in both cases is reasonable, to hit the intended audiences most likely to want a say and provide valuable input to the process.

However, I believe we should be even more transparent and essentially notify just about everybody (except probably for the Announcements list). For these two proposals: Sakai 10 and Sakai online help, I just sent links to the archive discussions to several more lists to inform them.

Does anyone agree with me on the transparency concept? I wonder what the best way to achieve this would be?

Best,
Neal
