i agree with hans that i don't understand the reasoning behind this. the list of project participants should not be mistaken as an "authors" list (there are lots of contributors of pd-core, external- and abstraction- code who have never enroled in the pd-cvs) and deleting somebody from the list of project members is not an attempt to undo history. the repository logs will still hold the name of the original author. >> >> I propose that we leave Gerard van Dongen and Jamie Tittle on the >> list since they are still with us in spirit. i regret that i do not fully understand this request either. while both of them have contributed a lot and chances are high that they would be contributing if they were still with us, i do not see a point in treating them as if they were still among us. a usual clause for "vereins"-members (in morbid austria) is, that their membership ends with their death. personally, i would not want to do the removal of jamie or gerard just because they are no longer with us. but i have little problem in having their sourceforge accounts be part of an automated process. mfa.sdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list PD-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
