Comment (by desrosj):
Will this drive and the materials it contains be publicly accessible
without having to request access? If so, is everyone allowed to leave
comments and suggestions? I haven't seen a link to the drive yet, so I'm
unable to take a look myself.
If not, is there any reason that this process can't be more public and
open?
I know that a lot of time and effort goes into carefully crafting and
refining the messaging for the About page and related marketing materials,
and I recognize that allowing everyone the ability to modify certain
things is not the right approach. But I'd like to just request that this
process is as open as possible.
At times in recent past, it has been very difficult to follow the history
of discussions, direction, and decisions related to the About page, and
near impossible to revisit the Trac tickets to retrace the progression
(even for others closely involved with the release). This was mostly due
to a mix of private communication that was not surfaced or summarized on
the ticket, frequently creating new documents and removing public access,
etc.
This was much improved in 6.0, but I just want to make sure we continue to
become ''more'' open and don't regress into ''less'' open. Any contributor
should be able to help with the about page content at any time during the
release. ❤️
