We’ve created a new category, Council Workspace. This is meant to be, as the name suggests, a place for drafts, checklists-in-progress, etc. This gives us a central location to collect and collaborate — rather than doing these things somewhere scattered like hackmd or, you know, Google Docs.
This category is open to all to read, but restricted to Council members for posting. That isn’t meant to discourage other collaboration — if you see something you want to comment on, you are encouraged to reply as a linked topic[1] in this (
Project Discussion) category.
We’ve also agreed to use tickets for more of our work items, and tasks and I’m going to update t2dbot to direct its linked topics there. That gives us a chance to file “placeholder” tickets in the Council tracker before they’re fully-formed, and to create mere work-tracking tickets which usually don’t need discussion.[2] Crucially, automated posts reduce[3] signal-to-noise for lists, and this will help keep the Discussion category useful for humans.[4]

Again, that doesn’t mean they’re closed to all comments, just not immediately broadcast. ↩︎
