As far as larger enhancements to the process -- the module maintainer project has been slow to get off the ground, but I'll be pushing more on it after the holidays. +1
Indeed. Accountability is important to the process, and I agree that waiting for the next RM election is a bit long to wait. So, no need to shut up -- but also please remember that simply making complaints is not necessarily the most productive way to go about offering a critique. I've something to share here: I complain "a lot" on koha-devel. With a very limited success in convincing others. I was wondering why, and saw 2 possibilities: the 1st was my english, the second was that I came with a description of the problem, a suggested change/improvement/... , and, most of the time, the answers were criticising my suggestion, instead of agreeing about the problem.
My conclusion was = maybe I'm wrong, and should just explain the problem, not suggest a solution. Was I wrong ? About the problems Jonathan rised (and, as Jonathan boss, he showed me the email before sending it), I endorse the fact that there were maybe no suggested changes/improvements (or not enough). But it was not to be criticizing only. Our (Joubu & I) hope was that we could first agree that there was something to improve. Then find a way to improve it.
There are no robots involved in the process of signing off, QAing, or pushing patches (and keeping that in mind is why, if I had a *lot* more money, I would be organizing in-person global hackfests at least once every quarter). me too ;-) Announcement = We're organizing one every year since 2011, the next one will be in 2014, March, 10th - 14th (will announce it more visibly in a separate mail in january)
There is a practice on the #code4lib channel that I think is a good one: each year, during the conference, karma scores are zeroed out. At the risk of derailing this thread -- I'm inclined to do that at the beginning of 2014. At Chris Cormack's request, I've zeroed his (and zeroed mine as well). I was mostly kidding (and just wanted to express the fact that chris karma, outside from IRC, is very far from "*all* you get is complains")
I'm completely fine with zeroing karmas every year. -- Paul POULAIN - Associé-gérant Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08 http://www.biblibre.com Logiciels Libres pour les bibliothèques et les centres de documentation
