You got it exactly the other way around. Arafat was saying, and I quote:
'I am very unsure regarding this point. Does the majority of ppl who only
pass by Arabeyes have the right to know about our decisions?
hmm,well I don't really know. (really)
Looking at other OSPs/FSPs like the kernel-project, freedesktop.org,
gnome, Apache... this is not really the case. There are announcements
made, yes, but the whole process of deciding, making roadmaps etc... is
taken internally.
AND whith the distinction that Arabeyes is a meta project, Arabeyes
itself has NOTHING to speak about, because it is nothing #real#!!!
Under it's umbrella decisions are made, ppl meet, etc...
but there isn't any Arabeyes roadmap cz arabeyes doesn't stand for a
special project.
Maybe some info about internal work as an rss feed, or as an
announcement on l4a or anything in that regard but nothing really
systematic...'
And I replied:
'It is a matter open for discussion.. I in general prefer openness.'
In my last reply, I was referring to the already existing culture, that
openness is generally preferred. And that it is my opinion.
While I do want to get over 'he said/she said' complete misunderstanding like
this has to be clarified. This is for the record.
Salam,
Muhammad Alkarouri
