Why do you say that? It is both 'formal' (as described below) and technical (i.e. this is something we should commit and work on). > We should check whether > contribution relates to the project, whether we have questions > to authorship or origin of the code, etc > > If we accept contribution we may have a technical discussion, > which parts worth integration, etc. What if we then think this is a bad idea? I don't think it *is* a bad idea, quite the opposite, but I don't see why you wouldn't have the debate first then decide to take it into the project. > So I suggest that we continue both vote and the technical discussion Maybe I misread the discussion -- is there an alternative being proposed or not? I though there was at first, but now I reread the thread it seems not. Regards, Tim
