Thank you for invitation.
Concrete suggestions on how could GNU be improved to attract more contribut=
ors:
* (1) Do not impose any ideology on them.
* (2) Lessen the amount of formalities, that contributors have to pass:
** Revise (towards 0) the list of subprojects, that require them to assign =
copyright.
** For the remaining ones, relax a copyright-assignment policy, as all-or-n=
othing attitude proved to be unnecessary by real copyleft enforcement cases.
One of the ways to relax it may be that: do not demand anything from a new =
contributor straightaway, but wait till it became obvious that his contribu=
tions will eventually comprise a substantial share of codebase.
** Relax the requirement to prove their rights by providing anything from t=
heir employer, if any relaxation is still possible.
* (3) Fight the negative myth about GNU as a place full of dogmas and burea=
ucracy:
** Make it as clear as possible:
=2D that GNU welcomes everyone, regardless of their political preferences, =
and in particular regardless of whether they embrace free software philosop=
hy or not;
=2D and even if they do, that nobody will shame them for not living a life =
of saint of Church of Emacs here.
** Make all the remaining necessary formalities as transparent as possible.=
One should not collect (perhaps, outdated) anecdotal evidences around the=
Web, but have an opportunity to consult an official and up-to-date summary=
about:
=2D whether he need to undergo any paperwork (preferable answer: no, more r=
ealistic answer: check the list);
=2D what personal information he has to reveal (preferable answer: none);
=2D how to make a paperwork if any needed (preferable answer: an email is e=
nough);
=2D if he assign copyright on his code, does he retain a right to use it in=
nonfree software (answer: yes);
=2D how probable it is, that he has to ask his employer to do anything (pre=
ferable answer: only if he himself supposes that this is needed).
Make as clear / transparent as possible here means to publish it prominentl=
y on gnu.org and spread it over Reddit-like resources and other social netw=
orks.
> on wording, or paragraphs to remove [from] or to add [to the proposed =E2=
=80=98Social contract=E2=80=99].
Per (1) =E2=80=94 remove the whole =E2=80=98Social contract=E2=80=99.
