+<h3><a name="decisions/items/ltplans">Long Term Plans</a></h3>
+<p>
Long term plans are simply announcements that group members are
working on particular issues related to the Project. These are not
voted on, but Developers who do not agree with a particular plan, or
think that an alternative plan would be better, are obligated to
inform the group of their feelings.

+</p>
+<h3><a name="decisions/items/stplans">Short Term Plan<font color="#800000">s</font></a></h3>
+<p>
Short term plans are announcements that a developer is working on a
particular set of documentation or code files with the implication
that other developers should avoid them or try to coordinate their
changes.
-</p><h3><a name="decisions/items/plan">Release Plan</a></h3><p>
+</p>
+<h3><a name="decisions/items/plan">Release Plan</a></h3>
+<p>
A release plan is used to keep all Developers aware of when a
release is desired, who will be the Release Manager, when the
repository will be frozen to create a release, and other assorted
information to keep Developers from tripping over each other. Lazy
majority decides each issue in a release plan<font color="#800000">, or lazy consensus if the issue involves a product change</font>.

Showstoppers are issues that require a fix be in place before the

focus special attention on these problems. An issue becomes a
showstopper when it is listed as such in the status file and remains
so by lazy consensus.

Every committer has the right to revolution. Anyone can establish a branch or

the main trunk. The only responsibility a committer has when they do this is to
announce their short and long range plans, and allow others who want to help to
do so. Committers working on a revolutionary branch have the right to develop
their approach free of interference.

When a revolution is considered ready for prime time, the committer(s) shall
propose a merge to the developers list. At that time, the overall community
evaluates whether or not the code is ready to become part of, or to potentially
replace, the trunk. Suggestions may be made, changes may be required. Once all
issues have been taken care of and the merge is approved, the new code may
become the trunk.

parallel tracks of development to occur with the final authority of what eventually
becomes the trunk resting with the entire community of committers.

for prime time or whether it will be officially accepted.
