Grand Organization Project - Policy Proposals (GOP-PROP)

There are a number of policy decisions – some of them fairly important – which we have been postponing for a few years. Now that 2.14 is out, we will finally begin tackling them.

More background is here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor/policy-decisions

Meta-policies

To summarize and/or hopefully avoid useless fluffy discussions:

• Topics will be introduced by Graham. He will put an agenda for the next month (or so) on http://lilypond.org/~graham/gop/
• We will only seriously discuss topics when we have adequate background research.
• Emails about policy questions will begin with GOP-PROP in the subject line. Adjust your email filters accordingly, depending on whether you are interested or not in such discussions.
• There should be no surprises, no time pressure, etc. If you are particularly concerned about a decision but lack time/energy to join the discussion, just say so and we will postponed the decision. I want to have clear, final, unambiguous decisions; if that takes a long time, so be it.
• For each policy question, there will be at least one week for free-ranging discussion. At that point, Graham will summarize the discussion and announce a "probable decision". We will then have one more week to let people point out flaws in the summary, make additional arguments, etc.
