[Discussion] Proposal Management in Celeborn Community

Hello, Celeborn community,

In the past, when Celeborn introduced new major features or significant
changes, we typically used Google Docs to launch proposals. However, a
major issue with Google Docs is the difficulty in centrally managing these
proposals. Therefore, after referring to other communities and based on
discussions with several PMCs offline, it appears that Apache Confluence
could be a viable alternative for our needs. With that in mind, I would
like to invite all of you to share your thoughts, experiences, and
preferences regarding the use of Apache Confluence versus Google Docs for
our proposal management. Your feedback will be invaluable in helping us
make an informed decision that best meets the needs of our community.

Meanwhile, I have archived previous proposals and written the Celeborn
Improvement Proposal (CIP) process
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CELEBORN/Celeborn+Improvement+Proposals>
on Confluence.

What do you think? Looking forward to your thoughts on this proposal.


Thanks,
Jiashu Xiong

  This sounds great, thanks !
We should definitely archive all proposals which were voted on - and track
them for posterity.

Mridul

Re: Re: [Discussion] Proposal Management in Celeborn Community

Posted by rexxiong <re...@apache.org>.
Thank you, everyone. From our discussions, it appears that there is a
general consensus on centralizing the archiving of CIPs within Confluence
for efficient management.
However, opinions diverge on the approach to commenting and discussing
these CIPs. Xintong has shared valuable insights from existing Apache
projects, which integrate Confluence usage with email lists for efficient
tracking of discussions. I believe this approach suits us as well.

However, A problem emerged when someone without a Confluence account tried
to create a CIP within the Celeborn namespace on Confluence (thanks to
Aravind for pointing out this problem).
The issue stems from cwiki.apache.org's current policy that restricts new
user registrations and permits access solely to Apache committers.
Consequently, relying on Confluence for CIP drafting proves inconvenient
for all contributors.

In light of this, after discussions among PMC members, we adjust our CIP
process. Our new plan involves utilizing alternative documentation tools,
such as Google Docs, for drafting CIPs.
Subsequently, discussions relevant to these CIPs will take place via our
mailing lists.
Finally, the responsibility falls to Celeborn's PMC members and Committers
to ensure the appropriate archiving of the finalized CIPs within
Confluence. More details about the CIP process can be found in CIP[1].

Re: Re: [Discussion] Proposal Management in Celeborn Community

Posted by Xintong Song <to...@gmail.com>.
In fact, Confluence does support inline comments.

However, AFAIK communities that adopt Confluence-based proposal management
(e.g., Flink[1] / Paimon[2] / Kafka[3]) usually encourage discussions to
happen on the mailing list.

IMHO, discussions in mailing lists are easier to track compared to inline
comments. People don't need to subscribe to notifications of individual
documents in order to receive updates on changes. For people who joined the
discussion late or revisit the discussion later, the mailing thread also
makes it easy to understand how the entire conversation has taken place.
Most importantly, discussions are better kept in one place rather than
separated in multiple places.

Best,

Xintong

Hi Jiashu,




+1 for me. According to my experience in the Flink community, the discussion of the CIP is commented in dev maillist instead of commented in confluence.




Anyway, the CIP is required to introduce new feature or major changes.

Re: [Discussion] Proposal Management in Celeborn Community

  Inline comments, discussions are invaluable for design docs - this is not
yet supported in confluence right ?
Another option would be to iterate and discuss through other means (like
google docs), and before vote, move it to the wiki - so that the community
is deciding/voting on artifacts which are on the wiki.
This would also help in case proposals do not end up making it to the vote
stage, but go through brainstorming/discussion - and evolve into something
new (or get merged with others).

Mridul

+1 for archiving proposals on confluence.

Does Confluence support inline comments like Google Docs does? I think it’s a convincing functionality for the discussion period.

Thanks,
Cheng Pan

Big +1! Thanks for bringing this up, Jiashu.

From my experiences with Apache Flink / Paimon, the wiki-based proposal
management works quite well.

Another important improvement that I see in the CIP process is that it
enforces a public discussion and a formal vote on mailing list for
important changes to the project. I think this is a good practice of
open-communication and consensus decision making of the Apache Way.

Best,

Xintong
