Yeah, so the lack of clear rules is an issue -- maybe not because we
can't work without them (we have, clearly, and we can continue to do
so) but because each of us kind of makes it up as we go along? When
discussions about these "rules" happen on the list, it doesn't always
happen with the same people, and opinions can vary wildly.
There have been a couple of suggestions recently:
- Revamp the CF Checklist on the wiki. I plan to do so later this
month, but that will still need some community review.
- Provide in-app explanations and documentation for some of the less
obvious points. (What should the target version be? What's the
difference between Rejected and Returned?)
Is that enough, or should we do more?
My preference, as I think Daniel also said in a recent thread, would
be for most of this information to be in the application somewhere.
That would make it more immediately accessible to everyone. (The
tradeoff is, it gets harder to update.)
