These guidelines are there to keep the project
true to the name Ion, and therefore include

* A veto for me for major changes that do not simply enhance
existing features. XFascistType and Shitorama have snowball's
chance in hell of getting into Ion. Ion runs on pure X11, not
fugly complex extensions.

As for development after Ion3plus, which shouldn't _fundamentally_ stray
too far from Ion3, I have some new ideas to try for Ion4, that I'd still
like to see implemented. I just doubt I'm going to do it myself...

I would also require at that point that Ion be ported to Windows and,
why not, OS X at.

well, unless tuomo wears a red coat and lives in the north pole, i don't
see this as a good/fair management model, keeping the Ion(tm) name is
not worth having Tuomo as a lead non-developer...IMO

we agreed to leave the development discussion for a later session, i
don't think we ought to be making any assumptions at this point.

porting or not, 'someone' will have to do it...
