2:15pm : Empowering Individuals / Small Teams to tackle features/bugs rapidly
- Initial Discussion at IRC Mtg dicussion on 2013-04-10 (starts around [20:32])
- Want to avoid "blockages" or slowing down progress by waiting around for "widespread approval" on any proposal/idea. Instead, we want to let small groups move/develop rapidly, and trust that they will build something "good enough" (which we can later improve on if needed). These small groups would still need to communicate their work/progress back to broader developer community (to keep others in the loop / receive ongoing feedback / avoid duplicate projects), but need not wait for an "official vote" before moving forward with their work.
- Possible "quicker" workflow:
- someone raises an issue / feature idea
- several interested parties discuss it
- self-organized team presents an idea, hears objections and suggestions
- (if needed) team addresses immediate concerns and presents again
- (we hope) everybody is okay with amended proposal and work goes forward
- people talk about the work as it is progressing, and get more feedback
- finished work addresses all known issues and is voted in. If additional work is needed it may be voted in as a "beta" feature until it can be improved in future releases.
