David the page looks pretty good. it looks like you brought a bit too
much over from the ubuntu memebership page. We shouldnt be as strict
as them. IMHO I think lightening up on membership policys is a pretty
good idea. Once people join (we can pretty much answer any questions
they have on bug triage (this is for bug triagers). If someone applies
we can look at them see what we think of memebership but im thinking
the more people we get now we can train to do the job they like.
(train may not be best of words to use) but you get the point.
Alex as for my comment on another ML was made incase our ML becomes
too noisy. not right off the bat. im thinking when we end up with
(example: 100 memebers all using the mailing list like the
ubuntu-users or kubuntu-users list. I never saw anything about another
IRC channel. (if i said it im sorry i dont remember stating that.

The less restrictions on membership is really all i can say. like with
signing the CoC i dont think thats really good for us as we are a
small team atm. I do however think they need to know our team repects
the CoC <link to CoC> now i didnt see anything about editing status'
but im leaning towards if they are gonna do bug triage to read the bug
tag status pages and agree to do it in that manner. But we shouldnt
make our team as hard to join as ubuntu membership as we will not get
more people imho. Do we really need users membership for our team to
expire? Maybe rather if they are gone for <so long>(to be determined)
they have to reapply? there is a reason i say that but it is something
i was fighting (maybe still am) with a team leader of a team im on.

I mean no disrepect by my comments above they are just suggestions.
Thank you.
