Dossy, you've responded to many of the technical questions raised in this thread, saying that multi-protocol support will go into AOLserver 4.1.x in some fashion, etc. That's all excellent. But so far you've never directly addressed the bigger question: Will anyone other than you and Jim D. be allowed and encouraged to commit to the unstable CVS development head for the AOLserver core, or not? And why or why not, and how? This is a matter of operational policy, and as project manager, it's certainly your job to articulate it, and de-facto, since there's no other respected authority to do so, it's your job to decide it as well. I know what I would PREFER to see: Dump the current de-facto ivory-tower policy, talk to Zoran, Stephen D., and Vlad, and figure out whatever is necessary to turn some or all of them into productive core committers, while satisfying EVERYONE involved, including (if they care) your AOL management. However great a job Dossy and Jim D. can do alone, I'm rather confident that the five of you can do better - all it should take is a bit of communication - and leadership. If you're still thinking about or discussing this and haven't decided what to do yet, that's fine, just tell us so. But I think you do owe the AOLserver community some sort of clear statement on this issue. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
