Criteria for open communication

[cornelius]

We want to have open communication as one of the criteria for incubation stage 2. Things to consider there (see https://github.com/OpenRailAssociation/technical-committee/blob/main/meetings/2024-09-17.md):

• Open communication channels is an important point. We want to add this to the criteria. For smaller projects a pragmatic way is good enough, like discussing through issues, but not having to set up a Matrix server or something like that.
• What are the minimum requirements for open communication? Roadmap public, most important design decisions, explaining why pull requests are rejected, etc. We will refine that based on existing examples. Most important is that projects are responsive.

Report of notes taken at the meeting of 03/12/2024

• Ask for open roadmap and communication. The project can show why its communication is open (could be matrix server / open issues and PR)...
• The project practices should be evaluated by the TC.
