Re: GR: Disambiguation of Section 4.1.5 of the constitution
I would suggest a small modification:
* Manoj Srivastava (srivasta@debian.org) [030822 07:05]:
> + 5.2 Initially, the list of foundation Documents consists
> + of this document, The Debian Constitution, as well as the
> + documents known as the Debian Social Contract and the
> + Debian Free Software Guidelines. The list of the documents

+ 5.2 The list of foundation Documents consists
+ of this document, The Debian Constitution, as well as the
+ documents known as the Debian Social Contract and the
+ Debian Free Software Guidelines. The list of the documents
+ that are deemed to be "Foundation Documents" may be changed
+ by the developers only by changing this clause, which needs
+ according to 5.1 a 3:1 majority.
Advantage: This makes the list in 5.2 the authoritative list, which
makes it easier later to see which documents are in fact foundation
Documents. (Or to speak in computer slang: normalization of data.)
Cheers,
Andi
