Hi Tim, > I wasn't thinking of a one man development team, but one man leading it. > Basically that kind of project management is often used in OSS sector.

There are several opinions in the past, starting from using an CMS framework to Zend framework as to the points we are talking now - a complete new generation of building software by having a high frequency of transferring informations between modules and care2x core. Yes, there are several options possible and it is really difficult to bring here an Solomon decision, mabye here a more monopolistic decision would be needed.
The main issue in that project are the uncontrolled growth in several countries in the past and when I am looking to the svn then there is just the implementation we did for East Africa is the once and only who are just try to publish it back. But that is another topic. Maybe the totally freedom of using own ideas surrounding existing frameworks in care2x instead of the motivation to improve the system as it is was the main issue in the past. When we are going now that way Gjergj offered in that development list before would close that gap in future. That must be the way how it is working. Trademarks, code reviews and quality control are another topics. Here I would think there is a team needed, each of this core team should have the responsibility of their own parts. The way how linux is working in general. Who really makes Open Source Happen now in our project? Actually we all agree that care2x isn't made by hundreds of developers, but small groups of dedicated developers (not more than 10) could bring the solution for the knot we actually have here. > This isn't a bad thing, but if you wait for a consensus to evolve you > will wait a long time.

We have just to look into the developer list history for the last 3 months who is active or not. The strange thing is that all of these active developers having the same idea in their mind. Just ideas, ready to discuss and still a request to comment :-) Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
