does council monitor PRs to the XEPs repository or do I have to forward that to council?
-
jonasw
and if so, what’s the current modus operandi to do that?
-
Flow
jonasw, which kind of PRs are we talking about?
-
jonasw
anything which needs council 😺
-
Flow
So ProtoXEP submissions and Last Calls. But I think for those we have editor sending annoucement mails
-
jonasw
I'm talking about changes to Draft+ XEPs
-
jonasw
(sorry I'm on mobile. protoxeps can be merged instantly, last calls are issued by editors so they don't need council btw)
-
Flow
Ahh, not sure if I ever saw an editor annoucing a proposed change to a draft xep, probably a good idea to establish those though. I wouldn't want council to monitor PRs and such, plus xep1 wants a standards@ discussion of those changes too

Maybe even provide a rendered version to the standards list.
-
daniel
Then it's easier for the broader community to follow
-
daniel
Arguably though it is also kinda the responsibility of who ever created the PR
-
jonasw
in this case, me 😺
-
jonasw
I suppose it has to wait for next year then 😺

What are the criteria for a Council member to decide about the approval of a ProtoXEP? XEP-0001 §5 does not provide any hints except that we need to vote.
-
Ge0rG
The only reason I can immediately see to -1 a protoXEP is that it covers a use case that already was addressed by an existing XEP.

I generally think about whether or not it's implementable in its current form. If it's not I don't want it to end up sitting in experimental in an unusable state forever.

SamWhited: I don't like the protoxep limbo we have, where the author has submitted something, and before it has been voted upon there is already a new revision on the author's homepage.
-
Ge0rG
So I'd rather tend to accept even very raw things, just to keep the wheels turning
-
Flow
Ge0rG, so you would not have accepted MAM?
-
Ge0rG
Flow: I don't think it covers the exact same use case as 136
-
SamWhited
I don't mind "very raw things", it just needs to be in a state where every other section isn't a TODO.
-
SamWhited
But I agree about things that overlap in use case; sometimes things just need a replacement, but we don't need three alternatives to everything.
