Editorial Board Meeting 2009 07 | |
|
Note About Quorum and Voting[+]Quorum: is defined as the smallest number which is greater than 50% of the number of current members.
In other words: Quorum "floats" to match half of whatever the current level of participation is. If someone misses a meeting (or is new) they won't count towards quorum for the next two. It does not mean that they cannot vote. The list of current members at the top of the page is for reference, anyone may note that so and so voted in some Editorial Board meetings and adds that name. Edit history of a page is the real proof of participation. there must be an edit in that month by that person. If consensus is not reached on a particular motion, a vote will decide on accepting or rejecting a motion. It takes 50%+1 "current" members voting (for, against or abstain) to decide a motion. For example if the number of current members is 7, then quorum would be 4, which means that if two vote in favor, one against and one abstains, the motion passes. This is a meeting of the Editorial Board - it runs online from July 1st to July 31st, 2009.

I could take or leave the categories for users, but find the backlinks method used in documentation status and the other tools marc has set up (like All plugins) to be the best for authors.

1.6. allow doc.tw.o_contributors to add faqs | |||||||||
|
Motion: Provide the perms to the "doc.tw.o_contributors" group to add faqs.
Is a doc contributor the same as a doc editor? If yes, then I agree. If not, then the doc contributor should be using the "Suggest an FAQ" feature, and the doc editor should approve/reject the suggestion.

1.7. New Motion 5 | |||||||||
|
Motion: Keep doc.tw.o for docs (what Tiki does) and send all support requests (how should I do this?, does Tiki do this?, etc) to http://tikiwiki.org/forums and bug reports/feature requests to dev:report a bug (what we wish Tiki did). So remove this page and ones like it: Feature Problems and review/clarify get help. Here is an example of pollution
Maybe we can have a custom module or plugin on each doc page: For This Feature
And, ideally, all doc pages that have corresponding sister wiki page on dev.tw.o should have a prominent link.
