Gang,<br><br>Karma this, karma that -- karma happens based on what you do, not on how you get credit for it. I don't think karma is at the core of this conversation. <br><br>It's about making docs at <a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a> better.<br>
<br>I think this paragraph is at the heart of Steve's proposal:<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
So let me clear it up. I didn't mean to suggest that document<br>
maintainers would have the same restrictive gatekeeper role as a<br>
module maintainer. Instead, I would envision someone who calls<br>
themselves a "maintainer" of a page, a role they can choose to<br>
relinquish at any time. Each page could have multiple maintainers but<br>
anyone could still edit the page. Some pages might have zero<br>
maintainers until someone decides to step up. Having a document<br>
maintainer is just a way for a person to publicly declare, "I'm<br>
interested in taking an active role in improving and maintaining the<br>
quality of this document." This would be someone who wants to get<br>
notified or asked for advice on what's on that page. Nothing more than<br>
that. They could easily drop out of that role anytime they wanted.</blockquote><div><br>I think what Steve is talking about is providing an opportunity for people to better <i>step up to take ownership </i>of docs in a way that doesn't exclude others. Why would we want to prevent people from feeling responsible for certain doc pages and being more accessible to folks seeking clarification, more help, etc?<br>
