A modest proposal for a simple proposal process

Inspired by Hannes' "case for a dedicated I/O spec", I suggest that we

adopt a "jfdi" approach regarding updating the CommonJS/ServerJS spec

with proposals.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/ServerJS/ProposalProcess

Please weigh in with your opinions. In my view, "process" is sort of

a necessary evil in a group like this, but it's in all our interests

to facilitate things so that we can make good decisions with a minimum

of overhead, and easily track/record the state of the various things

we do in our respective projects.

This is essentially the process we've been using.

There was an early discussion about how voting or hand showing works.
Kevin was elected BDFL by the early quorum. I believe that it was
agreed that his responsibility was to break fights up more than
anything else.

I also think that State 2, "Discussion", is more nuanced. If no
discussion occurs and there's only one implementation, I don't think
an idea can graduate to state 4. Such ideas should wait for the
community to catch up. This will help us keep from developing
standards that nobody wants, and encourages us to at least speak up in
the affirmative if there's a good idea. Silence is not consent.

That's the idea ^_^

Agreed. Updated to make this explicit. Ironically, that's probably

the bit that needs the least explaining for new members, since it

happens out in the open.

Kevin as BDFL is perfectly fine imo. Our hand-showing seems to be

pretty smooth and easy for newcomers to pick up. However, with the

CommonJS list, and the wiki on

mozilla.org

, and IRC channel, and the

various lists for individual projects, it's not always clear how to

propose a new idea. Maybe others feel differently, but editing a wiki

kind of feels like you need permission.
