I really have to agree with you. The proctors have completely lost their way. They are ineffective. They tend to compound the problems they were created to stop. They are slow. They have not prevented anything, which was the reason for their creation. Rather, what they *have* done is stifle conversation, piss off people, get in the way of Developer Relations reports, and otherwise making developers feel like they don't want to participate in our official discussion channels. What do I think needs to be done? The proctors project needs to go away. It simply wasn't implemented in the way the Council had hoped and has proven to be more harmful than the original problems to morale and inter-developer trust. While the individual members might be doing what they think is best and trying their best, they've failed at the goals of improving our communications channels. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
