We all spend our free time on this, so yeah, I feel your pain.

Yes, DVC.

> You gave access to non-committers

Not yet, I haven't, no. I'm still trying to discuss it publicly on
this mailing list, looking for a yes.

Although, you must understand that I'm interested in increased
cooperation in .Net/other language OSS ecosystems and this happens by
including people. Not by excluding them. And see now, we might
actually have excellent programmers helping us create a great project!
It's a win-win situation, hammett.

Yes, Castle.Facilities.NHibernate. But I'm not asking to have that
included on the main site. There's a thread on that project.

If you search the history of this mailing list you will find that it's
not the case for another project.

I think they are very productive, we discuss things. I think you need
to start cooperating better with contributors and stop scaring them
off - work to get people active and interested in contributing instead
of having hierarchies and lack of trust.

You are correct; I think we are two very different types (or too
similar) types of people who have different cultural preferences on
how and in what manner discussions and decisions are to be made.

I consider it your responsibility to ask me (just CC me if I *need* to
reply to an e-mail) if you are making changes to a project which I
write code for. You can do this on github, skype or e-mail. If you
make decisions about projects that I write code for without asking me,
then that's a problem and not good leadership. It will cause threads
like this to surface.

You don't have this from this thread as far as I can see, unless you
mean 'majority of those replying within a time window conveniently
selected by myself'.

That is good news. Perhaps it would be fruitful to have monthly chats
over a higher-bandwidth protocol - say Skype, for example? This would
be easier to schedule and plan for me.
