Drew,

To the best of my ability I am trying to express
the true concerns of the org, as I have come to
know them over my time here.  At this time I don't
see the need for any major changes to the status
quo (if it ain't broke don't fix it).  Just trying
to convey what the organizational requirements actually
are, not to insist that anything be done to accomodate
them *right now*.


Of course it'd be smart to allow anyone from the
infrastructure team to inspect those forums, but as
a practical matter most of us are already members of
the org.  And I take Terry's offer towards ooo
committers at face-value that it is a standing offer
good for the lifetime of the project.

Peace.
