True. With "small group" I only mean that the number of committers is very small, compared to the total number of users on the lists. This is just a fact, without any values attached. The advantage of such a small group, and in this community I know for a fact that most of them know each other personally, is that they know what they can expect from each other and how to handle "problems" (ranging from misunderstandings to complete messes in the committed code). Knowing who's who further helps in this. OTOH If committership is handed out too easily it is much easier to modify Cocoon to serve personal purposes rather than try to add something that can be valuable/useful for the community. > Is the humble attitude that makes us strong as a community. When the qualitity of the product/software is more important than the individual contribution, I suppose it's a healthy attitude, call it humble or something else. Bye, Helma
