I will even give reasons because it is Christmas;
a. See Martijn's concern.
b. Running vote over Christmas when *many* people are busy with
other
things.
c. I would like to see a proposal with more "meat" in it. Some
history, more elaboration on the various topics that the template
provides...
Just a different perspective:
a) I agree with the concern but as Martijn expressed, I'm not sure it
should be a real concern for the vote. If the project dies, so be
it. But
clearly a few individuals seem to care so why not giving them a
chance?
b) +1 on this one, it could just be balanced by setting a longer
than usual
voting time frame.
c) I agree although some feedback has been provided on the ML, it
could be
nice to bring back some of that in the proposal.
Some thoughts from this end:
I also have the feeling that the proposal could benefit from some more
"meat". The timing around Christmas indeed was not very helpful
either. But what really concerns me a bit is the question whether
people really want to/can work together. It seems like the fork /
The word fork does not appear in the proposal, but at the very top of
the proposal it says it started at Facebook. I just read the proposal
and a few emails today so I don't know anything about the project but
that immediately says to me there is some disparity. If it's a fork
that's fine, but that's something pretty important to leave out of the
proposal.
non-fork debate already left some scars and I am not eager to invest
time when people can't get along even to begin with. Maybe my "Avalon"
alarm is set a little too sensitive but for now I only vote +0.
Ian, since you are the one driving this... would you mind working with
the project team on improving the proposal? ...and then consider a
re-submit?
cheers ...and Merry Christmas
