Open Governance #682

Closed ryscheng closed 7 years ago

ryscheng commented 9 years ago

Something that has come up several times is changing the structure of how decisions are made to support more open governance. This is critical to the long-term health of the project.

One potential option is Consensus decision making https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision-making

@willscott points out that the core node.js developers recently forked to io.js to support a similar community-driven model http://blog.izs.me/post/104685388058/io-js

Thanks!

Interesting timing as I'd been discussing some similar ideas with Greg while in mountain-view.

Consensus decision making is many different things... I'm very curious about concrete details and models used; it is surprisingly hard to find effective processes and projects for 'open development'. I've worked on many academic and a few 'industrial' ones and a few non-profit models.

One of the things I've been most interested in recently is liquid democracy. But I haven't seen any open-source projects using that as a model yet.

Interesting times - very curious to see how io-js works out, thanks for the pointers!

Yes, we would need to choose a process that works well for us, and it may involve some experimenting.
