@openFATE Screening Team We had first team meeting yesterday and I'm very glad the openFATE Screening Team has been launched. Since I am not native English speaker nor good at typing and couldn't say much on the meeting, I'd like to post my opinions to this list. First of all, how about put the tag [openFATE] -- acronym [OF] or [OFS] would be good enough ;-) -- in front of the subject, like I did for this post, when the issue is specialized for openFATE Screening Team, such as an announcement of the next team meeting, etc. This helps preventing unnecessary confusions and listmates can easily know whether the issue is related to whole project or specialized for openFATE Screening Team. [What should we do for the next step ?] During the meeting, I felt we need to do a brainstorming about what we should and can do for openFATE and make things much clear. I think I'm not the only one who don't clearly understand what should be done for now. For example, we talked about setting tags to each features. Do we need some typical keywords for tags, such as installation, update, kernel, etc. ? Team members can freely and randomly set tags when they have time ? At the beginning of the meeting, Bryen asked: Are we still only allowing openSUSE members to enter requests? I'm also wondering why we have to restrict adding new features only to Members. Just because lack of human resources ? As long as I can understand, Members are just kind of contributers who approved by Board, but not delegates in any sense, because they are *not cosen* by other contributers and users. There are many contributers who are *not yet* Members. If they aren't given chances to add new features, IMHO, openFATE is half-openFATE. I'd like to advocate, even mere users should be able to add new features, because that is the first step for them to become contributers. Of cource I don't mean to blame project on that. What I want to say is: if there are some reasons why we have to restrict, we should provide convincing explanations. Finally, should we discuss such things on this list or prepare the Wiki page for that ?
