I really wanted the decision rules to be simple, inclusive, and promote consensus. The rules follow the 'doacracy' philosophy - if you want to do something and no one is against it it is going to happen. I think such an approach is very important considering this is a community project in which everyone volunteers their own time. \r\n\r\nThe rules fit very well with existing GitHub mechanisms (used by many other repositories) which will make them easy to implement. Hopefully the administrative burden of following them will be minimal.\r\n\r\nThere are special roles in the decision making process. Anyone can submit a PR and any Contributor can review it. This removes bottlenecks while giving everyone the chance to contribute and express their opinion.\r\n\r\nI hope that these decision-making rules will create a solid scaffolding that will let the BIDS community grow an thrive for many years to come.\r\n\r\nChris\r\n(hopefully soon not the BDFL) "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bids-standard/bids-specification/issues/comments/446027740","html_url":"https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/pull/104#issuecomment-446027740","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bids-standard/bids-specification/issues/104","id":446027740,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQ0NjAyNzc0MA==","user":{"login":"chrisfilo","id":238759,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjIzODc1OQ==","avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/238759?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo","html_url":"https://github.com/chrisfilo","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrisfilo/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-12-11T00:33:00Z","updated_at":"2018-12-11T00:33:00Z","author_association":"CONTRIBUTOR","body":"Thanks for your feedback @choldgraf. The proposal sounds great (although it's more complex than what @KirstieJane outlined), however, my main concern remains: how are we going to find all these people (~20) to commit to serving as maintainers for at least one year without offering them anything in return?"}}
