we should figure out what to do with larmas PR
daniel
I'm generally slightly frustrated about how we deal with inactive authors. frustrated not because I'm blaming anyone but the status quo is often $someone proposes XEP; nothing happens for years; someone else finds XEP useful; provides feedback but by that time $someone has become inactive in the community (or might not even work in the industry anymore)
daniel
but I don’t really have a good solution for that.
moparisthebest
the council can just grant authorship to the new person right?
moparisthebest
I think we should just do that more aggressively
Ge0rG
yes, and we've done that before
daniel
I'm wondering if we should put some rules around that. Like any deferred XEP is up for grabs for example
Kev
I'd have thought a policy of needing authors to reply to a mail within a month, and then Council finds a co-Author to take it on, would be fairly sensible. Less long than that clearly isn't because holidays, etc., but people *do* leave the industry (I'm not sure Dave is still doing any XMPP, although I'd expect he'd have responded anyway).
daniel
because otherwise it feels slightly political if council "punished" less active authors
moparisthebest
yea I think a period of time with no response is perfect, a month seems fine
Ge0rG
+1 for a one-month notice period to prior authors
Kev
> I'm wondering if we should put some rules around that. Like any deferred XEP is up for grabs for example
XEPs often go deferred because the Author was the only one trying to do anything with them, so assigning new authors automatically when deferred seems not quite right, to me.
Kev
If a policy gets put in place now, I'd suggest making sure it's publicised on the list, and taking effect from now, rather than retroactively.
daniel
> so assigning new authors automatically when deferred seems not quite right, to me.
well I was thinking unaddressed feedback + obsolete + new volunteer
daniel
but yes I'm literally just thinking out loud; not making any real suggestions
Ge0rG
do we need to put it into XEP-0001?
moparisthebest
the policy now is basically just "whenever the council feels like it" no ?
Kev
I'd have thought sending a proposal to list likely to generate useful discussion, FWIW.
Kev
> the policy now is basically just "whenever the council feels like it" no ?
Yes. So Council could come up with a policy without encoding it, I think.
moparisthebest
yep so just a notice seems good enough, if someone comes up with a really good argument against it we can just change our minds
Kev
I think "anyone find a reason this is a bad idea?" would be better than just announcing, but don't feel strongly enough to argue much.
