How do I get a pony? + +Ironic operates via a consensus driven model of collaboration. Often, others +want the similarly shaped features, but may not agree on the details. +Or different words may be used for the exact same meaning. The +best way to build awareness, consensus, and a common set of words to +describe the feature which you desire is to join the weekly `IRC`_ meeting +and bringing up the desire during the ``Open Discussion`` portion of the +meeting. Often Ironic contributors will ask for an RFE or a specification +documentation to be started which we can collaborate on. + +Persistence and collaboration are key. Often contributors are quite busy +with numerous other tasks. In other words, if we don't respond quickly or +on your first attempt, it is not you.
