Talk:Policy Development

Ah, policy. Now that's a nebulous area. How can we best organize policies?

It will be a significant task to transfer policies that have already been determined, yet that should be done (and copiously documented with links to relevant email discussions).
Policies that are in progress will need a way to designate them.

So, what policies are big enough to work on/store here? Our policy to (for example) destroy MS software when it appears? Our "bad dogs" policy? A policy can be finally approved by council (or staff? or a working group?) - i doubt there'd be a good way to conclusively reach consensus in this (or other digital) venue. So the only thing that would move items off this page and onto the Policies page would be a meeting of some sort; updating the wiki would have to be a commitment of one person at that meeting.
And about a Policies page - would it be useful to distinguish between policies and guidelines? Policy and custom? --Ideath 12:22, 18 Nov 2004 (PST)
