[TYPO3-core] Election of the core team leader for TYPO3 CMS

[Ingmar Schlecht]

Hi Ben,

is there any conclusion from this? I might have missed possible 
announcements, as I'm not subscribed to all lists any more, but I would 
be interested in who was nominated and voted on.

Also, is this election now going to be each year, or was it a one-off thing?

Frankly, I have the feeling this election is handled rather sloppy, with 
few information (note: if things have been published meanwhile in 
channels I don't watch closely, ignore this), few time-wise advance 
notice, and no information on payment and possible working hours for the 
core team leader. I think for future nominations and elections, that 
should be clarified more clearly. Of course we don't want to attract 
people who only do it for the monetary reward, but it does possibly 
enable some candidates to apply who otherwise wouldn't think of it.

(I know that during my time in the core team leadership I could have 
influenced how things like these are handled as well, which I see as a 
shortcoming of mine as well, but seeing things from an outside 
perspective now, I would like to spell out those things anyway.)

cheers
Ingmar
