Okay, understood. We would get consensus by mailing list and IRC. I am thinking how we make the discussion efficient. For example, probably before kicking off the discussion, we need to create a "story" in which we at least describe what the requirement is about and why we need it.

To be clear, we don't really have a planning board. There is no official governance yet. What we do have is consensus among the two primary groups (Wind River and Intel) involved in the project before the public release to continue our work openly in basically our current fashion until we do have governance. My brain parses that as our mechanism is now to have the discussions here (on the mailing list) and in IRC to find the consensus for the questions that come up, like the topic Bruce is raising in this thread. dt P.S. We still have "the weekly meeting problem" (this is the call on Wednesday evening UTC that Bruce refers to) that has yet to be solved. The transition from the current practice to a new one is not going to be instant and I think we can learn a lot from the experiences of other communities (contrast current OpenStack and Kubernetes practices for example) but in the end I fear we will have to learn these lessons the long way around. -- Dean Troyer dtroyer@gmail.com
