If you switch to Wave now, NH would probably be the first community-driven OSS 
project with a non-public developers list. Wave is cool, but what matters more 
in OSS? Being open, or using the newest cool tool?

The re-motion team invested several hundred hours into making re-linq a nice 
foundation for LINQ to NH, and I think the effort has paid well. Without 
invites, we would be locked out. Others just follow the list to get a deeper 
understanding, and some of them eventually join the discussions, send patches 
and eventually become committers themselves. How would this work if only a few 
people have access to the developers list?

I know that Wave is tempting. But please, just resist until it's open for 
everyone. 

Cheers,
Stefan
