SUO: RE: Call for Volunteers for Methodology Project and 4D Ontology Project
Dear Jon,
I've not quite disappeared yet.
I would argue the opposite. It should be a comfort that the Project Leader
for one of the projects leads the procedures project, because it makes it
more likely that they will support the development of projects. Having
someone motivated for the product of a project in charge of it has always
been seen as a good thing where I come from.
I would hope that the other project leaders would be active in the development
of this project too, as well as those who feel that the projects have got
out of control and are unresponsive.
In any case the checks and balances are in place. The SUO Group is
the final authority, and the project leader - to be effective - must serve
the Group. Developing stuff that gets rejected is just a waste of time.
