Actually the reorg has been needed since _at least_ april, but before this there was no incentive to do so since there wasn't anything burning in the open. you could feel the heat in some places and there were signs of smoke, but nothing serious. Currently we have noone who is responsible for anything, theres seemant to yell at when theres devstuff, Zhen when theres docstuff and drobbins for the rest. foser, Me, liquidx when its gtk+ ... dan when its KDE.. but nothing has been documented, no chain of command and noone who really says "go do this, its needed" . We have been completely chaotic in structure, where noone "in charge" over small parttime projects and things generally running out of time. The only time you've gotten an update on whats going on is when somone finds a nifty new feature, or when you go hunting whoever it was that broke that thing over there.... There's been talk of herds and some work is going into that (read back, this was well before the whining around the fork) and hopefully management ties into this nicely. as for the fork, Buisness as usual. The most interesting thing that I see coming out of this is that they do some infrastructure changes that might scale nicer than what we have.. but that's yet to see. //Spider -- Irate developer -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
