If that's your belief, then I don't share it. I think some majorities in the project are trying their hardest for ways to marginalise and ignore minorities on some non-technical issues. Lately, each time some DD almost convinces me it isn't the case, I get rudely knocked back by apparently-discriminatory acts. On the upside, at least it's not clear to me yet. > > Then I can see how your hopes could happen, if they have enough > > power.

I just wanted to note that this is a hard task. Making new hard tasks is something to be cautious about.

Fewer secretarial roles, facilitation of non-technical GRs and more official status to our summaries of technical choices. I think the first two are probably good, but less sure of the last. I wondered what views other people have about the idea. > > (Can you shorten your line length so it doesn't wrap, please?) > Huh ? I have textwidth=74 in vim ... I guess something else must have messed it up. This one was OK. Sorry for that noise.
