I feel, this vote is really misplaced at the moment. The vote isn't about
that the community wants more people contributing code, right? Everyone
wants that. I also thought we (silently) agreed on the shouting meeting that
we (as in all committors) were going to discuss this another time and work
out an infrastructure for all mmbase related code. This infrastructure
should show our vision on the future of mmbase and address the question
"what is Mmbase for us in the present?". Just opening up the applications
module shows a lack of vision and will create only chaos.

As Kees already posted, there should be some clear guidelines before others
can start committing. People have to know what they can expect from us and
what not. I am not against the technical side, but I think we first have to
clarify the organisational side. This doesn't mean that the rules have to
cover everything, but guidance is a must have.
