RE: [cosmos-dev] RE: Design process

[David Whiteman <David_Whiteman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I don't think we had come up with
a set process there before.  In thinking about this some more, I think
I was just making up what it perhaps should be going forward. :-)

In the past we've had a big design review
call for each iteration.  During the call we provided feedback to
the designer, who would later go back to make adjustments per the feedback.
 In most cases, we never had a 2nd review by anyone to confirm that
the corrected design was kosher.  I'd be interested to know how TPTP
handled this process.

Perhaps this would make for a good arch
call or community call topic for us to settle on a more explicit process,
and as a result of that discussion, improve the dev process wiki page.
