Get site maintainers in place first. Then let the maintainers decide what's needed. > If you don't like the result, advise them. If you still don't like it, > fire them and find somebody else.

Well, the management by central committee has worked very well at some things. It just hasn't worked well with regard to infrastructure management. I wouldn't support getting rid of the core committee. I'd rather just let us spend our time on governance rather than day-to-day stuff since that tends to get neglected. > > That aside, a (protected) forum on the site itself for site issues seems > like a more logical approach. Not a bad idea. Basically what I am hoping to do with this discussion is get a better handle on the ideas and issues so that we on the core committee have something to discuss regarding getting and supporting additional involvement in this area. As I said before the ideas I was floating are pretty green and hopefully the discussion of them will help all of us understand the best way forward.

Does it make network security easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the two and get a better understanding. http://p.sf.net/sfu/hp-phase2-d2d _______________________________________________ Ledger-smb-devel mailing list Ledger-smb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ledger-smb-devel
