Disclosure: I work for AWS and provided some opinions and non-prescriptive advice to the team behind PartiQL about Open Source. The same question was raised on Twitter, and I put my thoughts there: https://twitter.com/_msw_/status/1157405984823758848 https://twitter.com/_msw_/status/1157405984823758848 TL;DR, my advice is that successful open source projects and open specifications usually have diverse communities. You will have a hard time attracting people to your community of they do not share goals with the rest of the community. We should have some bounding boxes around how the spec evolves through clear tenets. Otherwise welcome diverse opinions, experience, and problems to solve collaboratively.
