Knight Drupal Initiative monthly proposal review -- 11 September 2008
After a week of delay due to DrupalCON related travel, it is time for our monthly open review meeting. We will meet for the next round of proposal reviews on Thursday, September 11th at 14:00 Eastern (US) (18:00 UTC).
The meeting will be held in IRC #drupal-dojo on irc.freenode.net. (See http://drupal.org/irc for information about using IRC.) We will meet for 1:30 with the following agenda:
1) Review current proposals that need decisions:
-- NewsCloud newsroom module is being reviewed for the second time and should be accepted or rejected at this meeting.
Participants are asked to review this proposal before the meeting.
The project sponsors are welcome to answer questions during this review. The possible outcomes of these reviews are:
* Submit the proposal to Knight for possible funding.
* Reject the proposal, with reasons why.
* Ask the proposal to be revised for the next round of review.
2) Introduce the new proposals for review:
-- Expanding Context_UI, Spaces, Messaging and Notifications, FeedAPI and Maps and Open Sourcing 8trees and Managing News is a new application that needs review and consensus on how to move forward. The application has met the acceptance criteria, but there are outstanding issues regarding the format and scope of the application. See the discussion of the proposal for details.
-- drupaleo - talent growing and hiring for drupal is a new proposal for review.
-- Grant-Making System is a new proposal for review.
-- Documentation sprints for better docs and to grow the team is a new proposal for review.
The purpose here is to get eyes on the new proposal, and let the submitter answer questions.
3) Time permitting, work on publicizing the efforts of the KDI.
