I've written a draft (v0.1) proposal for a 'LOTR Mod Feature Improvement Proposal Process' and provided a link to a Word document with the proposal in my Dropbox to Sinthorion, for review purposes. The draft proposal is based on my observations of the current process, my interpretations of quite some discussions I've witnessed on the current process, my own experience with the current porcess, my experiences with managing communications in a minecraft community (servers, website, forums and whitelisting), my professional experiences with improvement systems in industry and my insight in what would be required, desirable and acceptable. Nobody else was involved in writing that proposal. You can provide any feedback you feel appropriate. I assume you still may have questions or see options to improve on my proposal. In case you disagree with the fundamentals, and are inclined to simply reject the basic notions, I can handle that too. The word 'harsh' is also applicable to the criticism I have (provided) to the current system anyway. Note that I have deliberately left out any referrals (incl. my pretty harsh criticism) to the current system, as I wish to approach the issue as if we were to 'design from scratch' (be it with knowledge of what we wish to achieve and of what we wish to avoid, fed by experiences with the current system). Note that it is a draft version that has been written down pretty quickly last friday afternoon, while I was rather tired, so I assume it may miss some thoughts and considerations, it may be hard to comprehend at points, and/or it may fail to be consistent at points. I'll do a recheck in next few hours and maybe update it on some points, even if it's only to improve on readability, and then post another link to Sinthorion using Facebook ... unless there is no point in doing that anymore. I haven't seen any new messages on this subject yet, but I may have missed some as I haven't gone through all of the recent posts and edits yet.
