I agree, it is time to change. Difference between Mandrake employees or not is nonsense, it should only exist one community, like debian one. I propose to create and contruct MandrakeLinux development on this community, with strict rules on who is doing what, and the affected tasks for each, and where anyone which is part of the developers community have certain power to commit changes. The difference must be who is a mandrake developer and who is not, and forget who is mandrakesoft employee and who is not. We can also discuss if we need to change the name, as Mandrake is likely to have some trouble again because of this copyright on Mandrake the magician (NewDrakeLinux? DrakeLinux?) -- Warly
