Hi,
while updating the German translation of htdocs/People/core.html
I noticed that the description of the role the "core" group has in the
greater picture is not accurate anymore.
The first sentence
If the NetBSD Project were a large company, the NetBSD core group would
be the technical management.
may be still valid (what is technical-exec, then?) but the detailed
description is probably wrong now:
No, it's not just dead weight. Rather, members of the core group set the
direction and goals of the NetBSD Project as a whole, promote people's
interest in the NetBSD Project and the system it produces, and consider
the serious architectural questions that need to be addressed if the
NetBSD Project is going to keep producing a viable system.
How about this?
Core is a project management committee, tasked with guiding the
technical direction of NetBSD development. Its members are qualified
NetBSD developers appointed by the technical-exec executive committee.
I am not quite sure :-/ what the actual difference is between core and
technical-exec. The resolutions of their formation sound quite similar
to me.
ciao
Klaus

I believe technical-exec is wider and includes 'core' and 'pkgsrc-pmc'. See
About the resolutions, they are
similar but different. can say that core is about NetBSD and
technical-exec is about NetBSD and pkgsrc, I believe.
