Before discussing new features, it is important to remember that the first step is to clarify the project governance. We believe a clear framework is necessary so that all future decisions are coordinated and consistent.
Following several recent issues regarding governance and coordination, we have initiated this discussion to clarify and improve how the project is managed.
The main points proposed are:
- Establishment of a strategic committee to define and approve the overall XOOPS roadmap.
- The committee will work collegially and appoint an operational project lead responsible for implementing decisions in the development branches.
- Operational teams can work autonomously on features and PRs, while respecting the strategy defined by the committee.
For technical reasons, we have launched a vote by email among active project members to determine if they agree with the creation of this committee.
We have set a one-week deadline to gather opinions and avoid delaying the project.
We hope this discussion will be open and constructive:
Members can give their opinion on governance by a committee.
Users and contributors can share their ideas and suggestions on XOOPS governance directly in this post.
Thank you all for your participation!
