B) Who's the "we" who makes this decision?
The drupal.org infratructure team based on the input of the developer community.
This is the kind of answer I expected to be provided, but I think it's way to vague. Who is the drupal.org infrastructure team? People with accounts on infrastructure.drupal.org? People with some kind of shell access to the drupal.org infrastructure? If either of these were the actual criteria, then I would not be considered to be on the team, yet in my own mind I do consider myself part of the team. How would the team go about this decision? A simple vote? Does the majority rule, or does it need to be unanimous? I know that the drupal community itself is quite decentralized, and that we probably don't have answers to a lot of the questions above, maybe because such things haven't come up before. But, in my opinion, this decentralization makes it hard to get a lot of things done, since it's never clear who would make the decision and how. The drupal.org redesign is, from my perspective, caught in a similar situation. Even if the answer of "who makes the decision to switch to a new RCS" was "Gerhard Killesreiter", at least it would be more clear what needs to be done to switch. As is, I still think it's totally unclear. Adam
