I agree, 100%.  I think we should have more representation from the
programming side of the community.

Right. The proposal is set up in such a way to encourage everyone -
programmer or not - to discuss the issues publicly. When it comes to making
decisions, a limited group of qualified people (in this case, programmers,
parts authors, or reviewers) to actually cast the vote to create an
LDraw.org standard. Naturally, the LSC members would be expected and
encouraged to participate in the public discussion, but they're the ones who
make the decision.


Hi Dan,


right.  I was saying that the LSC needs to be qualified (as Orion
pointed out), AND that the LSC needs more representation from the
programmers.  Currently, as far as I can tell, it has (from the stats I
could gather):

Jacob:  parts author, reviewer(14 reviews in last 3 updates)
Steve:  parts author, reviewer(185 reviews in last 3 updates)
Tim:    reviewer(0 reviews in last 2 updates)
Terry:
Larry:  reviewer(32 reviews in last 3 updates)

I know Steve and Jacob have written software...  I guess I'm asking how
were these names selected?


Unless I mis-read something, I think this initial group of 5 is
the (parent organization) LDraw.org's leadership doing double duty
as the initial Ldraw.org Stnadards Comitee for the sole purpose of
setting up how the Standards commitee will be chosen. From what I
read the real Standards commitee will be chosen sometime in July
(pretty aggressive schedule if you ask me.) and its very possible
that it may be made up of entirely different people I suppose.

I would think that one of the things up for discussion between now
and then may even be the number of people on it, and what qualifications
they may need? But I may not have seen something that says otherwise.

I guess that also leaves mw wondering though, Who sets up the rules
by which this upper level of LDraw.org leadership is chosen/replaced?
and operates?

Then again I could be totally out on a limb here. :)

(...) You're mostly right. I suppose the proposal/message wasn't clear enough (and this is the part I was afraid of it not being clear enough in, so I tried to disclaim it). A couple years ago, the four of us posted this message: (URL) - sometime (...) (21 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
