Decision-making policy draft
1. Given the topic of interest, initiate discussion on the mailing list
2. Identify a small circle of community members that are interested to study the topic in more depth
3. Take the discussion off the general list, work on the analysis of options and alternatives, summarize findings on the wiki or similar
4. Announce the in-depth discussion of the topic for the Slicer Community hangout, encourage anyone that is interested in weighing in on the topic to join the discussion. If there is someone who is interested to participate in the discussion, but cannot join the meeting due to conflict, they should notify the leaders of the given project and identify the time suitable for everyone. (Note: we might want to advertise Slicer Hangout appropriately, include agenda in the announcement email directly, and advertise the event to Slicer users as well as developers)
5. Hopefully, reach consensus at the hangout and proceed with the agreed plan.
