From my perspective this idea is to take the DPL from one or two people to more people. Why? To get more done. Because the DPL can not do all that he/she wants by him/herself with the timeframe of an election cycle. The important thing is to get things done, not whether its done or decided by one, two or more people. I'd expect instead for the DPL to delegate things instead of trying to do it all. Look at the kernel team, Linus delegated various bits for others to control because he could not handle doing it all. So why not have a DPL todo list that is public and can be worked on by him/her and can have folks look at it like a RFH. If the DPL can do it, great. If he/she can deligate it, fine. If not, let the list be there so that others can step-up and say "I'll do the DPL's bidding". Such a list could be used by the next DPL candidate as a starting point for unfinished things, if the next person thought they were something that they would want to do, otherwise they could have certain items priority lowered. -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org |
