[WikiToLearn] A draft proposal for a WikiToLearn Board and other structures

[Davide Valsecchi]

Hi all,

Sorry for the late answer.

In my opinion we need a mantainers table ASAP. It would be really useful to
have a sort of coordination group of people for all the teams to keep in
track all the parts of the project together. I think that this table should
create a sort of periodical schedule and report the community about the
acheivement of the goals.  This is a work that every team do separately now
and it's necessary asap.

Speaking about the board. I think that this is a very delicate point and it
should be discussed with a lot of calm. We don't have to rush.
This board would have decisional powers? only economical responsabilities?
The two things must be, in my opinion, totally separated.


Instead, we should start the mantainers table with temporary nominated
members in a couple of weeks I think.

Bye

Davide
