[mapguide-psc] RFC process...

[Jason Birch]

Sounds good.  

We can be more flexible in practice than the official presense, and the
How To or "MapGuide Development Primer" page should reassure newcomers
that their contributions are welcome, maybe with a bit more scope than
just RFCs.  I'm a bit out of my depth on that though.

Jason,

This mostly looks good. However I would like the PSC document to remain
fairly rigid because in essence that document represents our by-laws. 
How about if we take this softer, kinder, gentler documentation and put
it on a separate How to Create an RFC page that will provide links to
the templates and the existing/previous RFCs?

I started from the current official text, and then modified to be
kindler and gentler, but also keeping some rigidity in the process (we
need to set direction).  Please treat this as a straw man and beat,
reshape, etc.

process document, which isn't bad but it's not really all that friendly
either.  Maybe we need two faces.
