#benevolent #communication

#WordPress is discovering that having a #Benevolent #Dictator for #Life is not such a good idea and that a more community-driven model shold be probably the way to go🫂🧑‍🤝‍🧑👫👭👬

We (Javier Luis Cánovas Izquierdo and yours truly) have been advocating for a more #transparent and explicit #governance of #opensource projects.

In particular, we argue that each project should include a governance.md file with this information. So that, contributors (but also users) can have this info into account before deciding to invest their time in the project.

We also argue that this governance should be #democratic but this is a discussion up to each project.

More details of our proposal:
