[DISCUSS] Fix Sorting of Board Reports
I recently went out to look at previous Board Reports (
http://activemq.apache.org/apache-activemq-board-reports.html) and found
the current sorting method difficult to deal with. Unless we are required
to use the page naming format, I would like to change it to the following
format:
Apache ActiveMQ Board Report - 2009.01 January
Apache ActiveMQ Board Report - 2009.04 April
Apache ActiveMQ Board Report - 2009.07 July
.
.
.
I would then set it to sort in reverse order so the most recent report is
automatically at the top, and they descend in chronological order. The
current sorting puts the most recent board report (2015/02) in the middle
of the pack, making it difficult to find. Good luck trying to find the
report directly prior to that.
I will make the changes, unless anyone has other suggestions.
Best,
Jim

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. It looks like there's no technical
reason for the current naming scheme. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't
breaking some kind of formatting requirement from the Board.
I'll get them fixed up shortly.
Best,
Jim

renaming makes sense to me.

Thanks, Tim. That is a clear and compelling reason to keep them there.
With that clarified, does anyone have any comments on the renaming of the
pages to improve the indexing?

I believe that he does this as a place to create and edit them and allow
for other members to contribute if they so desire before he submits
them. I've edited a couple in the past prior to submission to add CMS
or NMS release notes.

Re: [DISCUSS] Fix Sorting of Board Reports
Posted by Jim Gomes <e....@gmail.com>.
Thanks for the explanation. That helps.
So, I guess we could discuss the merits of keeping the Board Reports on our
wiki, as it does seem somewhat redundant. As long as they exist on the
wiki, it would be helpful to have a better indexing system.
Perhaps Hiram can offer background as to the purpose and intent of the
Board Reports being published on the wiki?
Best,
Jim

Possibly not, but it would NORMALLY be because the board has decided something should be private (like names of people being voted on or something) in which case it should likely not have been in our public version as well. Doesn’t happen too often. Also, they would remove any “wiki formatting” type things that wouldn’t look right in the text form they use.

I don’t really think the board would care if one was produced or not. It’s the chair’s job to make sure the board gets the report. If they don’t get it, they ask the chair to report again next month. If the chair consistently has issues, they’d likely replace the chair. Another thing to keep in mind: it’s the Chairs job to create the report that reflects the state of the community. The chair MAY include the wider community in creating that report, but that’s not a requirement. Thus, saying “the community produced one, the chair didn’t submit it” really wouldn’t matter at all.

Re: [DISCUSS] Fix Sorting of Board Reports
Posted by Jim Gomes <jg...@apache.org>.
Thanks for the link, Dan. I didn't know those were there. I think the main
difference here is that link is to the Board Minutes, whereas the ActiveMQ
wiki has the Board Report. They seem to be identical, but will they always
be? And even if they are identical, do we still need to have the redundancy
for trace-ability? For instance, if the Board, for whatever reason, claims
they didn't receive the report, we have documentation on the wiki showing
the Report was produced.
That's me just trying to understand the reason for the Board Report page's
existence.

No “objection”, but why don’t we just delete the page and point at the official records:
