Daniel thinks the purpose of the ArchCom should be to provide:
- Advice (e.g. via the RFC process)
- Guidance (e.g. by establishing guidelines)
- Supervision (e.g. by reviewing changes)
- Resourcing (e.g. by championing projects during budget planning)
The ArchCom should aim to drive change, rather than preserve the status quo.
The ArchCom should facilitate discussion and direction finding on matters of software architecture.
