Editorial Board Meeting 2010 05
About Quorum and Voting
<a id="flipperidEditorialBoardMeeting201005heading1" class="link" href="#" onIn other words: Quorum "floats" to match half of whatever the current level of participation is. If someone misses a meeting (or is new) they won't count towards quorum for the next two. It does not mean that they cannot vote.
The list of current members at the top of the page is for reference, anyone may note that so and so voted in some Editorial Board meetings and adds that name. Edit history of a page is the real proof of participation. there must be an edit in that month by that person.
If consensus is not reached on a particular motion, a vote will decide on accepting or rejecting a motion. It takes 50%+1 "current" members voting (for, against or abstain) to decide a motion. For example if the number of current members is 7, then quorum would be 4, which means that if two vote in favor, one against and one abstains, the motion passes.
This is a quarterly meeting of the Editorial Board - it runs online from May 1st to July 31st, 2010.

1. Motions Carried Over
MLP hasn't carried any forward since he was away for a while.
2. New Motions
2.1. New Motion: About Profiles Docs
Only site admin (and there is no end user function for profiles?) docs on how to install profiles should be maintained on doc.two. All other questions are referred to Profiles Documentation
Encouraging Profiles: certain docs like Initial Configuration should be updated to encourage people to use profiles instead as a means for initial setup.
Discussion:
Profiles documentation has been growing on profiles.tiki. Should we port it to doc.two and possible shut down documentation efforts there? - MLP
IMHO doc.tw.o should stay documentation for end users and admins, not for profile developers. So +1 for only "how to use" the feature to put here, otherwise keep it there. — luci
MLP: So profiles are listed as a "developer feature" they can have their own docs section on profiles. This makes sense to me. Docs then needs to maintain info on how to access and install profiles - not how to make them. We just need a clear line as to what gets doc'd where.
