Fine. :-) I also think it was a very good experience.

In my personal experience, collective code ownership has the  
disadvantage that no-one feels responsible for an application. I'd  
very much prefer to have single maintainers who have a certain level  
of familiarity with the projects.

This is especially important when it comes to architectural changes.  
There needs to be someone who has the authority and competence to  
coordinate major architectural changes. Otherwise, doing things like  
that is very problematic to impossible.

Another important point is that there needs to be someone who Linux  
distributors can ask for help. At the moment, both Grr and  
DictionaryReader are in Debian. Until Etoile reaches a certain level  
of stability, just picking the working applications from Etoile is  
the path that most distributors are probably going to take - if these  
applications can be compiled without Etoile support.

Thanks. I'll definitely have a look at the Etoile progress every now  
and then. :-)

Regards,
Günther

P.S.: Thanks for the Live-CD's! :-)
