== issues == Specific issues in Consumerium governance are: *choice of a [[Consumerium board]] - by default now it is just [[User:Juxo]] or "Chairman Juxo" or "Chief Gardener Juxo" or "Janitor Juxo" or whatever title he likes. *choice of [[licenses]] - note that there are few contributors now, and it is not too late to require that all contributions accept that a change of license be possible later, under the terms of governance we eventually work out for that (in other words notify that unless you object in such and such a time after a notice of change of license, the material is under a new license, and you lose rights to say fork off a new project with the old material without problems). *ways of assessing [[Consumerium:project future|project future]] and [[project status quo]] - ''see [[m:governance]] for some ways to do this, not sure if they've been tried.'' *other things that might have to be listed in a [[board manual]] - ''see [[m:board manual]] for a possible starting point for Consumerium's board - and [[m:Wikimedia board]] for an example of how not to do things!'' *picking the right balance of tools, rules and fools. We hate [[w:bureaucracy|bureaucracy]] for practical reasons, but sometimes zero-bureaucracy (like [[GPL]]) just leads you into more control by official bureaucrats and wasting your life defending your work. High-bureaucracy (like [[w:Business Software Alliance|Business Software Alliance]]) has some benefits but is mostly just oppressive. [[w:Consortium|Consortium]] usually fall in between and balance a little more bureaucracy and obligation up front with a way to manage unforseen events later on, the main reason to even consider '''governance''' important.
