Ehhh. I don't know if the problem is collecting information. I could
put together a "goals for the future" (note, not release goals), but
would they be valid? They would be *my* goals.
I guess this would be addressed by the committee arrangement.
I'd like to see the following "shadow" committees formed unofficially,
hoping to pop up into offical status once the constitution is
ratified. Rather like the proletariat shadow committees in every
workplace prior to the Bolshevic revolution:
* technical committee -- someone please define the scope of the
matters this committe is directly responsible for! I see it as
overseeing debian on a very high, "executive" level
* policy committee -- as you can see, I think it should be a
different group from the technical committee
* release committee -- formulating a new release process, and making
it so; working out the kinks in our porting arrangments
* infrastructure committee -- archive maintenance, and
"infrastructure" maintenance group, i.e., ftp.debian.org, the BTS,
dinstall, and whatnot. Not so much the system administration but
setting the new policies, coordinating the development and
packaging of our infrastructure (why, oh *why* isn't there a debian
bts package? every bit of debian infrastructure, including
dinstall and archive maint tools, should be package IMHO)
* security committee -- necessary?
I think it's silly to wait for the constitution. Let's get our feet
wet now and let the paper trail follow.
