TWiki Governance » TWiki Technical Board

As defined in the TWikiGovernance, the TWiki Technical Board (TTB) is responsible for decisions over architecture, release process and tool infrastructure. The TTB works with the relevant TWikiTaskTeams when taking such a decision, trying to find consensus with the team members responsible for the implementation of the decision. TWiki Technical Board members are appointed; in the future they will be elected when the community is ready.

Purpose and mandate of TWiki Technical Board

The purpose of the TTB is at least the following

• Ensure code quality through...
  • review of code contributions
  • feedback to contributors
  • ensure that our processes are followed (proper bug items - on item per bug - traceability between SVN and Bugs database)
  • ensure maintenance and further development of the test suites
  • exercise the right to revert poor contributions
  • ensure that contributors follow their checkins with the required documentation
• Ensure development of architecture
• Ensure that the road map headlines are turned into actionable items
  • Ensure we have detailed descriptions that individual contributors can understand and act upon
  • Ensure large tasks are broken into manageable chunks
  • Ensure that specs are documented before code is implemented to trunk
• Ensures we have a working subversion system
• Ensures we have a working Bugs database
• Be the authority that other developers go to when they have questions about ways to implement a new feature.
• Work together with the release manager team/person on planning the technical side of the release.
