It appears that despite popular opinion to the reverse, and despite having a team of people ready to go, D.J. doesn't want this team to function.

Hi Ashley,

Before the team is officially announced by Project Council, please use the "XOOPS Project team forum (temporary)". If you need a dedicated forum, I can open a temporary one under that forum board.

I PM'd John Seymour asking him to set up a private team forum for Mod Dev. Was he the right one to ask? If not who is?

Thanks

XOOPS Module Development Team: Team leader and member candidates are available, as well as relevant discussions and proposals

great job akitson

I'll be charitable here, and assume that you are not used to speaking with people who's first language is not English. I sincerely believe though, that you've got ahold of the wrong end of the stick.

No changes since 10-6. Nobody needs comments about this: it is very clear.

"Assist" means "To give support to in some undertaking or effort, or in time of distress; to help; to aid; to succor". I do not read "to vote".

XOOPS Project Council - Current situation: not to be

In the past XOOPS has been suffered too much from its lack of communication and non-transparent management, just like the unknown "management structure" mentioned above.

It's time for us to move forward and to build XOOPS an open-source project upon open communication, open management and open development.

- phppp
- jmorris
- tom
so they should work as a team and vote for everything.
again you see Project Manager is not above Council team and is not important at all.
what is not clear is:
- what is their important decisions?
- who make this decisions? again it should come from a true voting system not by a single person.
- 2 out of 3 votes for everything is enough for accept it. what is these votes?

21-6; JMorris wrote: Now, whether the proposal to carry out the original plans or whether new plans are drafted, I think it is imperative that we clearly establish who will be the people who make the final call are and we clearly define the procedures for the decision making.
We cannot operate under the direction of 1 person at this point. There must be a proper representation from all areas of XOOPS if we are going to restructure XOOPS so that it meets the needs of the majority.
The impression Tom and I had was that we would have equal say in this council. We were then told that the council was not in effect; therefore, we had no vote.

23-6; vaughan wrote: but I also agree, that all the decisions that have been made lately have been made by 1 person and not discussed with other council members, and I ask, if james & Tom have no say then what's the point of them being council members even if temporary??? but the way things are at moment, it's still a dictatorship (for want of a better word) and not a democracy (which it should be).

26-6 phppp: However during the transient period, I has been taking the lead role for establishing XOOPS Project teams and invited JMorris and tom as temporary council members to assist in the procedure, never with task assignments and specified areas.
