I feel I have to say this. This whole affair has got me so depressed today.
1) I object to people dictating changes to projects I work on, that they do not. 2) People are welcome to contribute, but they should (IMHO) tread slowly at first, and earn the respect of the preestablished committers for that group. 3) Avalon is a collection of separate-interest projects. It is an anomaly that it happens to have a single "yes you are a committer" invite. I believe these things. I am not going to change my mind. I apply 1 & 2 everywhere I go. I see it currently informally applied here (but under threat). It is the OSS coding equiv of "do unto others as you would have done unto you" (This 'the golden rule' is Pre-Christian and cross religion for the record). -ph __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
