The DevRel project already settles disputes, the PMS project already designs EAPIs, and so on. However, projects are self-governing and this creates the potential issue of clashes with the needs of the distro as a whole, so we have a Council as an appeal of last resort. A project's decision does not necessarily speak for the whole distro - the Council does. If the Council were to completely refrain from interfering with projects, it could accomplish nothing. > I believe your request should be > addressed to the wiki@ people directly This is of course the correct initial step. Work within the projects until an issue actually arises. However, I could easily see the Council getting involved here, as this would impact both the GLDP and the Wiki projects. That said, I think this is a good idea - why have our documentation split in two? Rich
