We want to start managing issues a little more carefully, and making better use of tracker. In order to achieve this, the new procedure for issues will be as follows (or see http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/ Issues): Working group members can add new issues to Tracker. We want to start managing issues a little more carefully, and making better use of tracker. In order to achieve this, the new procedure for issues will be as follows: * When creating new issue, it should initially be assigned the state "Raised" (rather than "Open") o Before adding a new issue, please check if a closely related issue already exists and consider augmenting or commenting on that issue. o New issues should be given a short informative "Nickname" (e.g., "datatype facets"). o Editorial-only issues should have EDITORIAL in their title. + Editorial issues can be immediately RESOLVED and closed by a WG member working on the appropriate documents; email should then be sent to team-owl-chairs@w3.org so that consideration of the resolution can be added to the teleconf agenda. * The WG will briefly consider newly raised issues during weekly teleconfs o Issues that are considered out of scope and/or which don't have reasonable support from the WG (at least a seconder) will be rejected o Issues that are in scope and have reasonable support will be given the status "Open", and will be discussed via email (and possibly in future teleconfs) * Each open issue will be assigned an "owner" whose responsibility it is to initiate/lead a discussion, the objective of which is to bring to the WG a proposal to close the issue as RESOLVED, POSTPONED or REJECTED; the owner will normally be the same person who raised the issue. * A note must be added to closed issues explaining how and when the issue was closed, linking to relevant documents (such as meeting minutes or email); where resolving the issue leads to changes in WG documents, a "diff" link showing the differences between the version immediately before and immediately after the changes should also be included in the closing note (see http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/ index.php?title=Syntax&diff=2107&oldid=2103 for an example).
