[Gmod-schema] Chado Project Management Committee

[Scott C. <sc...@sc...>]

Hi All,

In an effort to speed up Chado development from its current glacial pace,
we've decided to change the governance style of from benevolent dictator
(yours truly) to using a Project Management Committee (PMC).  The committee
is composed of Stephen Ficklin, Lacey-Anne Sanderson, Bradford Condon, Josh
Goodman, Naama Menda and myself.  One of the first tasks we're undertaking
is establishing guidelines for how to operate, and one of the guidelines is
to have 6 reviewers for a pull request that institutes a "large" change,
where large is defined in the guidelines.  Now, I contented that
establishing guidelines is a large change, and Lacey issued a pull request
for the guidelines and everybody else on the PMC approved of the pull
request, but that's only 5 acceptances.  Would anybody else on the channel
be willing to take a look and give a thumbs up review? Thanks!

Also, I should mention that there is a Chado Slack channel in the Tripal
project, which is open to non-Tripal users.  If you'd like to be in the
channel, let me know and I can get you an invite.

Scott
