Different control structures work for different projects. A benevolent dictator is a valid control structure for open source projects that can work very well. EFL and Enlightenment have always been run under Rasters benevolent dictatorship. As a long standing EFL developer, I'm personally happy with that. I really doubt Raster would ever abuse that power. On the other hand I have seen people try to take over a project run by a benevolent dictator, by trying to implement "democracy" and committees, but they where doing this purely for their own egotistical pride or agenda. Nothing good came of that. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
