Without changing anything else about this proposal, I'd like to suggest that Brion's job title come with a more imposing description than "Senior". For example "Chief", "Lead", or "Head" Software Architect. There is only one Brion, and I assume he will remain singularly important in his role overseeing software development (even if he gets a new boss). By contrast large corporations often have many people who are titled "Senior" this-or-that but are still relatively unimportant. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
