No, no, this thread is not to disccuss how the travel sponsorship team should
take the decisions. The team can keep using the same rate system that it was
in penta if they desire to do so, just not using the web interface (probably
will need a secretary to keep track of this) or just whatever system they agree on.
The point is whatever rating system we use:
- there should be communication with the person asking sponsorship if people
have a question (it happened in the past and the team had to 'guess'
information about the candidate and it was in detriment of the candidate...)
- based in the feedback communication from the applicant the committee can
update their ratings/opinions. This wasn't happening before.
- should encourage only people who really need travel sponsorship. Right now
we have a form web and a plenty of people just ask money because it is easy
and if it works, they get money. And they don't need it to go to debconf.
- There should be some track of how requests are handled, it will be, of
course, restricted. But with penta the closest thing was some comments in
the web not everybody was reading since the first rater might never go back
to read the comments other put in the candidate.
And the best idea I got to do things this way is just doing it via the
old reliable mail system in top of some ticket system...
