BDFL concept should go away #4

Closed Jacob-Barhak closed 3 years ago

Jacob-Barhak commented 3 years ago

The idea of BDFL is not really proper.

I understand that some people put a lot of effort into a topic and should get recognition, yet there are other ways to give it other than the BDFL title.

Some organizations got the hint.

I suggest open journals follows.

Quite possibly although in reality the BDFL (me) makes very few (any?) real decisions at the top level of Open Journals. We may change this in the future but right now I don't think this is a priority for us.

Sorry Arfon,

In that case this issue should stay open - no resolution was provided nor a proper discussion on governance.

I was surprised to see this - organizations these days are stripping away BDFL for good reasons.

If indeed you intend to change it in the future, leave the issue open to indicate this intention.
