hehe.. and I agree with both of you :-) But when the concept of "foundation-level project bylaws" came up, that is where they are. Not labeled as such, not explained well, etc. Agreed. Yet conceptually, those are the "default project bylaws" should a PMC not decide to write up something else.
We'll get there. Personally, I'd prefer that the concept of project bylaws disappear. Move to "community guides". A *guide* rather than a *ruleset*. The Board has kinda gone quiet on the discussion, but hopefully it will pick it back up, to provide some guidance here. Cheers, -g On Sun, Sep 2, 2018 at 8:03 PM P.
