At the meeting on Friday with Matt, it was suggested that we should have Team Reps who could make the final decision as a direct democracy does not really work well in our situation. A few reason for this is the number of people active in a team meeting and voting on the same issue in another place and time may give different results.
The suggested restructure of the theme review team would be:
Team Reps/Team Leads
- These people would be people who are experienced with theme reviews and willing to give their time to leading the Theme Review Team forward.
- Responsibilities would include
- Leading the team forward
- Listening to the team opinions and making a decision
- Communicate with other Teams and Team Leads
- Help moderators with their tasks
Moderators
- These would be people who are experienced members of the theme review team who help out with different administrative tasks.
- These tasks could involve:
- Doing final reviews and setting themes live
- Returning tickets to the queue that have been abandoned
- Assigning Trainee Reviewers themes
- Giving a second opinion in tickets
- Maintaining the requirements documentation
- Leading team meetings
- Writing the agenda
- Fixing issues with themes not going live
- Removing themes from the repo
- Depending on what administratives tasks are done access will be provided.
- All current Key Reviewers and Trusted Reviewers will become moderators.
Reviewers
- There is no real change here. They can assign themselves reviews.
- Are able to lead and work on projects and bring ideas of ways to improve.
Trainee Reviewers
- This is everyone else who can assign themselves a ticket via the assign ticket button.
- Are able to lead and work on projects and bring ideas of ways to improve.
