Thanks for starting this debate: a useful corollary to the
decision to go GitHub. I propose that “CD Editor” becomes plural,
and we start having a team.</blockquote>
I second that, that would get us around the
"single-point-of-failure/delay" problem. <br>

no immediate intention of stepping down, but Michael’s Post has

those with push rights to this repository.

I would suggest a new "team" of CD Editors at the GithHub level, and
have three editors and James as Editor-in-chief. a<br>

I think the GitHub log should be sufficient, if people give good
commit messages. <br>

<p>Dear all, <br>
</p>
<p>as you know, we have been reorganizing the OpenMath
resources and web site as multiple repositories at [1]
<br>
</p>
<p>In particular we have the new CDs repository [2], which
has the CD resources and feeds the CD web site [3]<br>
</p>
<p>The idea is that [2] should facilitate CD development by
providing public source access, issues, pull requests, and
notifications. Now, the first outside user (Jacob Beal)
has taken advantage of this first by raising an issue [4],
and then providing a pull request [5] which is currently
being discussed. In a nutshell the proposal is to add
negated binary connectives nor, nand, and nxor to
logic1.ocd.<br>
</p>
<p>So far so good, but this raises the question of how the
CD approval process should be organized (technically).
<br>
</p>
<p>The OpenMath Standard [6] only says<br>
</p>
<div>
<h3 id="cdapprove">> 4.5 Content Dictionaries Reviewing
Process</h3>
<p>> The <i>OpenMath</i> Society is responsible for
implementing a review and referee
<br>
> process to assess the accuracy of the mathematical
content of Content Dictionaries.
<br>
> The status (see <small><code>CDStatus</code></small>)
and/or the version number (see
<small><code>CDVersion</code></small> ) of a Content |<br>
> Dictionary may change as a result of this review
process. </p>
</div>
<p>which leaves the process open and the OpenMath Society
delegates the responsibility to its CD Editor (James
Davenport).
<br>
</p>
<p>James and I have started discussing the technical process
of approving CD revisions. We propose that we make the
GitHub-supported process we have started with Jacob's
proposal the standard and document it in the README of
[2].
<br>
</p>
<p>Here is what we think the process should be. <br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>An extension proposal is made via a GitHub issue at
[2] and discussed there. <br>
</li>
<li>The discussion is concretized into a pull request (PR)
to [2] that is discussed further on the PR (including
inline comments) until all issues are resolved.
<br>
</li>
<li>James explicitly approves the PR and someone with push
rights merges it. <br>
</li>
<li>the changes are announced and added to a changelog. <br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>We would like your input on this proposal (in particular
what we should do for 4.)</p>
