Thanks David for that reply. It is exactly that position that I am myself and that made me pull off this vote in the first place. As for users/non-committers being part of the community, at least 1.whoever can start a vote,even a user 2.whoever can vote, even a user 3.only votes from members of the "community" (which is to be defined, but I think in this case accepted committers) are counted. Which I think highlights your point about who is counted part of the community. The other question I think is relevant here is how long/much vetos are valid and why they are for lifetime right now, which can lead to inactive members of the community blocking progress because of old merits. It would be great if a project could be able to renew itself on it's own, and not, as it seems now, be forced to rebrand, refocus, restaff, relocate just to get on with some new thoughts on the same base concept, as it is with Excalibur etc.. To me, it seems that this is a waste of effort and above all distracting for users that will have to keep track of which new project the driving people are heading off to right now because the current project is blocking their thoughts, not on technical grounds (which could lead to forking) but on political reasons. /peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
