Dispute resolution
You should make it a bit clearer that if the dictionary team can't solve a problem, it'll be decided by the LFK. We're the last resort authority. I imagine that discussion among the dictionary team will usually be sufficient, but if people can't agree the LFK will resolve the dispute. -BookOfPortals on Mattermost #LFK
- I am willing to make that change, if you are pretty sure that the LFK will want to arbitrate every problem that comes up -Mike
Decentralized?
On a more philosophical note, the Dictionary Team is going to be very decentralized. There were two models I gave most consideration when setting up the LFK: Node.js and Rust. Rust has a more centralized model; significant changes are discussed by the entire team and approved collectively. Node.js has a more decentralized model. Most changes are handled by individual collaborators (that is, experienced contributors who have been given commit access), but if the collaborators disagree, the matter is decided by the more restricted Technical Steering Committee, which operates by consensus among its members. So we'd essentially be the TSC. -Aris/BookofPortals
- Very decentralized? The Dictionary Team will be the Borg compared to Jbovlaste! At least we will have page layout conventions and quality standards, and edits will actually be reviewed. u'i[rcu'i]vla spam and experimental gismu for Pokemon characters will be properly processed.
