How is the Open-Registry project actually run right now?

[victorb]

Currently, I'm the only one in the Leadership and Member roles. This means that it's not running as it's supposed to, so we need to have more people being willing to be in either the Members or Leadership roles.

Is having both Leadership and Members really needed? Yes, because we want to avoid being able to purchase votes on matters. Votes that decides over bigger changes (still to be defined where that line is) should be open to Members and Leadership.

I'm not sure about the amount of people in either groups. Leadership should be smaller than Members, but on what scale I'm unsure of. What's for sure is that the members group will take lesser responsibility than Leadership.

The main difference between leadership and members is that the leadership will be written as legally responsible for the organization and basically owns it.

So, in the end, everything is very new, and there is no developed standard for how to do things, and we're currently figuring out things as we go along.

What's missing right now is more participation in the Governance of the project.

@victorb I've just uncovered this project via The Register; it's a fantastic idea and well over due. Would very much like to get involved, but Clojure isn't a language I'm familiar with (yet). Let me know if there's anything I can help with.

@jhdevuk Lovely, welcome and thanks for the nice words :)

A nice issue to get started with is #18 as it has all the instructions for how to implement it. Tricky part that is not documented here is getting a clojure environment up and running. I'll improve the section in the docs in a bit about it.

Should be as simple as having https://leiningen.org/ installed, then running lein run to start the application.

Other very helpful things to do:

• Review everything in the docs/ directory (especially the governance) and write down anything that unclear/missing/misleading
• Look through the issues here and add your 5 cents where possible
