Input gathering: who can help make language decisions, and how (e.g. Language Advisory Board)

[markdrew]

@agentK

What it certainly does NOT express is that a member of LAS or their employees have any skill or qualification whatsoever to make language design decisions. There might be an overlap and that MIGHT well be the case, but paying a membership fee should NOT be the criteria to be involved with LuceeLang design work.

This is going to be the third fourth language advisory board then. We had the CFML Advisory Board (CAB), the intended Railo Technical Advisory Board (RTAB), The Iris spreadsheet for htmlX (Iris) and now the Lucee Language Advisory Board (LLAB?).

Who will be the one to judge who gets on this new advisory board membership? Is there a test or criteria that @agentK will be happy with?

I am sure @adam_cameron and @agentK are shoo ins as members, as is @seancorfield of course. Even though most of these people (I am not sure about @agentK) don’t do any CFML any more or are actively moving away from the language.

It’s a tough one.
