[Agenda Item] Update to Document Project Lifecycle #75

Closed Sophietn closed 9 months ago

Sophietn commented 9 months ago

Overview:

The term “project” within Green Software Foundation refers to a collaborative endeavor to deliver a work item. There are two types of projects at the Green Software Foundation: Document Projects and Software Projects. Document Projects are consensus-based. They produce a document, such as a requirements or use cases document, a whitepaper, or analysis. Software projects are maintainer-based. They develop a new capability, refactor, or remove an existing capability for the Green Software Foundation technology releases. Such projects may take the form of a new component (e.g. a new repository) or may propose additions, deletions, or changes to an existing repository or repositories.

Towards the end of last year we realised our GSF Lifecycle Process was not fitting for these two Project types. And therefore projects were not progressing through the Lifecycle stages.

We revised the Software Project Lifecycle in November 2023, outlined here #63

This Agenda item issue is to discuss the Revised Document Project Lifecycle

6 Stages:

  1. Pre-Draft - Any GSF Member may submit a document as a candidate for a Draft
  2. Draft - The Document is in it’s experimental stage, and is being explored by the project team
  3. (WG)Approved - Parent Working Group deems the project to have met the objectives as defined in the scope
  4. (SC)Ratified - GSF Steering Committee Ratifies the Document. This step triggers the publication process
  5. Published - After the Steering Committee Ratification the Document can be made publicly available
  6. Historic -Document is no longer relevant as the technology it’s defining becomes obsolete or no longer actively maintained.
