Maybe I'm mistaken, but that's not how I read Nikolaus' comment. Perhaps a different way to think about things is the "types" of leaders that exist. Consider the possibility that being a lead developer isn't the same skill set as being a CEO or brand manager. I don't think anyone is disputing that you're good at what you do, but we all have to sit down from time to time and figure out our real strengths and weaknesses. And it's not even a weakness of *yours* that open source projects are notoriously difficult to manage. So we all acknowledge this; the question remains whether anybody *wants* to explore new ways to organize things. So far, the answer seems to be dismissively NO (but I'm still working my way through the comments :-). -- iPhone apps that matter: http://appstore.subsume.com/ My personal UDP list: 127.0.0.1, localhost, googlegroups.com, theremailer.net, and probably your server, too. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
