Django is an inclusive community. We seek to invite contributions, and aim for consensus in our decision making. As the project has grown — and as with all large open source projects — that's led to difficulties, as even simple proposals get drawn out into long discussions that suck time, energy, and enthusiasm from all. It's time we refreshed our approach. We're going to look at how we got here, what we need to maintain, and how we can move forwards towards a better process.
