Hello Nikos, Lu
Thanks for your answers :)
I didn't intend to create any mess neither disrupt nor put in danger the
ongoing election process, but to merely express my opinion. I'm sorry if
I made a mess by doing so. It's a pity that the matter didn't reach dev
or user lists before so I could have said it earlier, though I
understand not everything is to be discussed publicly.
No mess at all. Your points are perfectly valid and merit discussion.
Yes, Lu, I understand there must be rules, of course... But that doesn't
mean they are always fair/inclusive or that one has to agree with all of
them or that they cannot change in the future (I passed 18 long ago :))
I could also ask for add-ons writing access, but even if I was granted
that, it would feel like fake... since indeed I've never contributed an
add-on. I don't think it is wise either to inflate developer community
with ppl that have not contributed an add-on, and that would not even be
fair to those that have indeed done so. I would just like to have the
right to vote as the (bothersome) user I am... I mean, maybe I'm the
only one, dunno, but if not interested or committed to the project why
would someone else or anyone in any case want to involve him/herself
into this? :P
So, in conclusion, not to make it endless, it would be great if upon
request/approval users could vote either in this occasion or in future
elections... GRASS is shipped with contributors and contributors-extra
files, maybe those are good starting points, no? :)
This is indeed the direction the PSC is thinking about right now.
The big question is obviously the definition of the community, and of
its members. We don't have such a definition for GRASS at this stage
(e.g. equivalent to the charter membership in OSGeo), and so the easiest
(but as you highlight probably not the best) was to use svn-access as a
proxy.
Thanks for being "bothersome" ! ;-)
