Some comments on CG Welcome! documentation

Hello Ian, public-council people,

Having looked at the "Program Documentation" part of the priority part of  
the CG implementation plan:
   https://www.w3.org/2010/11/community#priority

I am reviewing Harry's draft (and started to fix some stuff as I trudged  
through):
   http://www.w3.org/community/council/wiki/Welcome_to_Community_Groups#Community_Groups

I have a comment and a question before I carry on.

Most of the fleshed-out content can be found on the Guidebook [1], but the  
guidebook is member-only.
   [1] https://www.w3.org/Guide/

It seems wasteful, to me, to replicate the guidebook (or to interpret it  
and phrase it differently) on that wiki.


Ian, what prevents us from making the guidebook public with a disclaimer  
that some links are Member-only?

If this is possible, I propose to focus the welcome! documentation only on  
aspects that relate to the CG infrastructure (running a group, some of the  
tools, how to get stuff done, all this overlaps with other types of  
working groups and can be found in the guidebook)

For example, in section four, I propose to keep only 4.1, 4.5 and 4.6.:

[[
4 Chairing a Group
4.1 Adding and Changing Chairs
4.2 Breaking The Ice
4.3 Dealing with Disruptive Group Members or Spammers
4.4 Making Decisions
4.4.1 Running Meetings
4.4.1.1 Prepare the meeting
4.4.1.2 Manage the meeting
4.4.1.3 Finish the Meeting
4.5 Moving Your Work to a Standard
4.6 Closing a Group
]]

In the whole draft, I'd favour keeping only the following parts (numbering  
no longer consistent, since I'll remove entire lines):

[[
1 Welcome!
2 W3C Forum
3 Creating a New Group
3.1 Proposing a Group
3.2 Group Acceptance
4.1 Adding and Changing Chairs
4.5 Moving Your Work to a Standard
4.6 Closing a Group
]]

What are your thoughts?

Coralie
