\agendaitem{A Way to Modify the PMS such that it doesn't directly involve the 
EAPI Process}
\index{PMS!modification}

Reference: \bug{273261}, comment 18

\dev{tsunam} requested a decision on a process to modify PMS without involving 
the EAPI Process.

There was discussion about whether PMS is a documenting simply documenting the 
ebuild API or if it is a broader document covering the entire tree. The agenda 
item was deferred until the next meeting to be discussed on mailing lists 
beforehand. 


\agendaitem{Discussion of the Need for a PMS/EAPI committee outside of the 
council}
\index{PMS}

\begin{enumerate}
\item 
Either we form a new committee / working group for EAPI and PMS questions (more 
or less \dev{calchan}'s proposal). There should be one or two members from 
the council, plus someone from the PMS project, and a representative for each 
package manager.
\item
In principle also the PMS project could play this role, but with its current 
membership of only three developers it is too weak. So some relevant people (see 
above) would have to join. On the other hand, there is already a bugzilla alias 
(pms-bugs), a mailing list (gentoo-pms) and an IRC channel set up.
\item
Something (completely) different.
\end{enumerate}

Of the three proposals the council chose to do something complete different, 
and what will be done will be discussed on lists (in particular gentoo-pms) or 
at the next meeting.
