[Geoserver-devel] One stop shopping for GSIP procedure ...

Can we combine the pages on this topic:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/0+Project+Steering+Committee
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/4+GeoServer+Improvement+Proposals
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/2+GeoServer+Improvement+Proposal

Near as I can tell the expectations of someone doing a GSIP should be:
   1. Preconditions
          * An action that has a major effect on others
          * Breaking backwards compatibility or core code change
   2. Sanity checks
          * Can the improvement go in a community module? It is not a GSIP then ...
          * Is this a bug fix? It is not a GISP then ...
   3. Create a new proposal as a child of Proposals Under Discussion
   4. email the development and user lists
   5. collect comments and link to comments from your wiki page
   6. Declair your proposal ready (send email?)
          * Show up at an IRC meeting to answer questions
          * The PSC will accept or reject your proposal within two weeks
   7. Move your page and create a Jira item when your proposal is accepted
   8. Implement change (following project procedures such as unit testing)
   9. Move your page and mark Jira item as completed

I can find no documentation on:
- care and feeding of community modules (think it is just send email before you start)
- how to take your community module into GeoServer (perhaps it is a GSIP?)

Cheers,
