[sakai-pmc] Version 2 of the Lazy consensus proposal to branch Sakai 10

[Neal Caidin]

*Proposal*

Cut the Sakai 10 branch and create a QA03 tag for QA testing.

*Dependencies*
a) Complete the merging of contrib tools Delegated Access, Signup tool, 
and Roster2 into core. Also include the dependencies of these tools, 
Heirarchy and External Calendering Service contrib tools, into core.
b) Complete the setting of ElasticSearch as the default search tool for 
Sakai
c) We need volunteers as branch managers or co-branch managers for Sakai 
10. And if necessary revisit the volunteers for the Sakai 2.9 branch 
management (which I think was Anthony W. and Sam O.).


*Rationale*

Our Sakai 10 schedule [1] had us completing this milestone by January 
31, which has already passed. Not all the features we were hoping to get 
in are ready [2], but  if we are to have a chance to get back on track 
and meet our schedule targets, we cannot wait much longer.

This proposal comes from a recommendation of the folks who attended the 
Sakai release team meeting on Thursday, February 6.


*Lazy Consensus*
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to comment.  +1 indicates approval 
and silence indicates consent as well. While everyone's input is 
encouraged, only a member of the PMC (Project Management Committee) can 
block the proposal. All comments must be submitted by close of business 
on Tuesday, February 11, 2014.
