Today, unless I create an account on OS.o and subscribe to a mailing list, I can not send messages to the community, nor can I commit to the hg repository... In this case, I am simply a J Random Public person, with no involvement at all with OS.o. In effect, that level is defacto - and includes anyone who has not taken any steps to involve themselves with OS.o. They exist, trust me :-) If J Random gets involved by creating an account on OS.o so they can post, then they are now a Contributer. Duh. I think we are more in agreement than it seems. -John
