WG Proposal template

[cescoffier]

Hello,

I started drafting a template for the WG proposal. It's totally optional, but if you are struggling, it can help:
Here is the template (remember, proposals are GitHub discussions):

Title of the discussion: WG - Name of the working group
Initial message content:

Objective:
The main objective of this working group is to <enter the main objective, one sentence only>.

The Problem

Describe the current issue, limitation, or gap necessitating this working group. Make sure to clearly articulate the impact of this problem and why it needs to be addressed.

The proposed Solution

Provide an overview of the working group’s approach to address the problem. Keep this section focused on high-level strategies rather than implementation details.

Definition of Done

Outline clear, measurable criteria that define when this working group will be considered complete.

Examples include:

• Delivering specific technical contributions (e.g., implementation of features, resolved issues, or merged PRs).
• Publishing ADRs or design documentation.
• Creating new or updated documentation.
• Sharing outcomes via blog posts, demos, or videos.

Scope of Work

Define the boundaries of the working group’s focus. Clarify what is in and out of scope to avoid ambiguity.

Organizing the Work

1. Communication and Transparency:

• Explain how the coordination will be done (GitHub issues, GitHub project…)
• Explain where most of the work will be done (Quarkus core, Quarkiverse…)

2. Point of Contact:

• Name the main point of contact for this working group

3. Expected Timeline:

• Estimate the timeframe for the working group’s lifecycle. If needed, break it into milestones (e.g., initial exploration, design phase, implementation phase). It may become a list of smaller working groups.

(Optional) Potential Outcomes & Deliverables

List the expected deliverables or results of this working group.

(Optional) Existing issues

If there are issues already opened about the problem, list them. It will ease the board creation.
