You know how I'm all for a loosely managed community with low entry
barriers, informal rules and few policies, don't you?  In another life,
I was a manager, and ran away from it because it wasn't nearly as much
fun as real hacking for me.

Though, Michael proposed that traditional management practices might
increase our productivity.  It seems that David's idea of borrowing the
concept of projects from Apache and Eclipse would be a wonderful
opportunity to test Michael's proposal in practice:

Bernie, would you be interested in creating the project policy for
Sugar Labs?  There is a very good page at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources . The 'Leads: Managing A
Project' and guidelines sections are very valuable.

If I were to work on the policy I would:
1. Take the Eclipse and Apache policies and strip them down to the bare minum.
2. Combine the Eclipse and Apache policies and modify them for Sugar Labs.
3. Identify two initial projects and make sure the policies work for
both of them.
4. Present the project policy for feedback on iaep.
5. Post the draft policy to the wiki

Something as significant as a project-policy will likely take several
iterations through 1-5.
