Description Todd E. Williams CLA 2006-10-06 16:13:52 EDT
When community members see new project proposals, they currently don't have an easy way to begin a conversation with the PMC leaders to see if the effort is strategic enough to garner their participation.  

One way to address this issue would be to provide a form on each proposal page that would allow an interested party to send an email to the project leads to begin a dialog.

Isn't this what the newsgroup is for?  We create a NG for each project as soon as they enter the proposal phase so that the community can interact with the proposers in an open and transparent fashion.

I'll close this as worksforme for comment 1.  Please reopen if you had something else in mind.
