ALL projects I know have a core decision team that in most cases is pretty undemocratic, and in some cases totally totalitarian. Does that make them not true OpenSource ? Is OpenBSD untrue OpenSource ? Sendmail ? Postfix ? cdrecord ? Where is the voting group for star ? Are all your projects democratic joerg, or do we just all have the right to your opinion ? Is the team that actually developed 90 or even 99% of a software not allowed to be a major control party, even in an opensource project ? Isn't it normal that who does most of the work also has at least a majority in the votes ?
So to sum up, if I would judge by your opinions, which is seemingly the thing the community is supposed to use all along according to you, I would be not only demotivated but simply feel exttremely alienated and offended. sorry but there is only a limited amount of ranting I can take cheers Michal -- -- Michal Bielicki CEO http://www.voiceworks.pl/ Voice Works Sp. z o.o. z siedziba w Warszawie przy ulicy Polnej 46/14, 00-644 Warszawa, Polska wpisana zostala do rejestru przedsiebiorcow prowadzonego przez Sad Rejonowy dla M.ST.Warszawy w Warszawie, XII Wydzial Krajowego Rejestru Sadowego pod numerem KRS 0000257259.
