Someone in our local meetup group mentioned having some problem with the form but it seems to be working just fine as far as I can tell. While I'm thinking about it, who actually approves (i.e. moderates) these requests, anyway? I've always wondered about that. --Kris On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 2:41 PM, Test - Please ignore < just-a-test@whatever.com> wrote: > Someone mentioned having trouble with the form so I'm just doing a > quick test.

I'd never read anything about that before so was kinda curious how that works given how chaotic the PHP dev process can be at times. I think it's a solid approach but I've always been a fan of having written policies and clear procedures as opposed to the more ad hoc approach that this appears to be. I wouldn't mind seeing this drafted into an RFC; I believe the policy as you described it should remain exactly as it is but the neurotic side of me would be far less antsy if this was clearly articulated in some form of "official" policy documentation. This is part of my longstanding campaign to ruin other people's Fridays with nitpicky crap. ;P --Kris > > > > > > […] > what do you mean by that? > from the technical POV? that list is maintained manually. > > from the policy POV? > usually who need access to something and he seems to be trustworthy, > he/she gets access. > on a related note: > http://phpadvent.org/2008/php-meritocracy-by-andrei-zmievski > > -- > Ferenc Kovács > @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu --- ## #58544 — Michael Wallner — 2012-03-03T09:50:36+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/58535#58544 · In reply to: #58542 > I think it's a solid approach but I've always been a fan of having > written policies and clear procedures as opposed to the more ad hoc > approach that this appears to be.

I was super-stoked when the RFC process was introduced and I would LOVE to see us make more use of it! Not only does it help get a clearer guage of vote totals, but it also forces proposals to be more explicit and well-thought-out IMHO. Of course that's only my opinion. If other people say they'd like to see that too then I'll propose something, otherwise I'll just mutter under my breath and leave it alone. ;P --Kris > > > > […] > > Exactly. Please, leave it alone.

I guess the RFC would be to document what the procedure is; and, if there's not a procedure, then to establish one for consistency. I'm all for meritocracy for OOP project admins but if there's no established "process" for determining who goes into that inner circle I just don't think that's healthy IMHO. Either way, if there is a process for selecting them, somebody else will need to document it on the wiki because I have no idea what it is or if it even exists. --Kris > > > > > […] > the RFC process covers how do we introduce changes. > nothing to change here imo. > of course if you think that this info would be useful for others, feel > free to document it in the wiki. > > -- > Ferenc Kovács > @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu --- ## #58554 — johannes@schlueters.de — 2012-03-04T01:15:43+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/58535#58554 · In reply to: #58553 > Hmm yeah that's a good point.

There is no big "selection" it's more like a "who doesn't run away" there's no real "decision power" or anything in these tasks, purely administrative tasks. If the current admins are to slow and somebody trustworthy comes along and pushes them he gets access to the button. If all those accounts are approved fast enough there's no need .. and once there is need an RFC process to follow hurts. johannes > --Kris > > > > > > […] --- ## #58555 — Kris Craig — 2012-03-04T01:20:28+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/58535#58555 · In reply to: #58554 Yeah your argument makes sense. The lack of process still makes me uneasy, but you shouldn't take that too seriously. I just tend to be very neurotic about this sorta thing. So don't let my apprehensive face-twitching about it bother ya too much lol. =) --Kris 2012/3/3 Johannes Schlüter > > > […] > it > > […] > > There is no big "selection" it's more like a "who doesn't run away" > there's no real "decision power" or anything in these tasks, purely > administrative tasks.

We know that you don't like them, as it prevents one to block or randomly veto new stuff or changes, but this is a good move for the PHP project. Look at the 5.4 features, most of them have been proposed through RFC.
