In order to set a release schedule, and so on, you have to be
intimately familiar with the code that is being released.
Before this discussion devolves into a governance orgy, I think that
all we really need is people who write code, and make it publicly
available, in a roughly synchronized way.
We should have a network of developers. Not a hierarchy.
no one else suitable. Just some food for thought I guess. I think
the real
question is who is going to select the new Project Leader?
Even if a new project leader is selected by the community and sworn
in, what difference will it make, other than making OI's situation
_seem_ less dire?
I think a de facto project leader will emerge from the ranks of
programmers pretty much automatically. Most likely it will be the
programmer that has had or is having the most profound impact on the
OI project.
But that's just my theory.
I agree Nick. It was just a thought. :-)
