Hi Sergei,

Sorry.

This is part of an open discussion - I mean the conflict not the ... ;)

Nonetheless, having a board like in a private club or lodge may be superior and more predictable compared to democracy games.

Ok, if I interpret the discussion until here correctly then we need perhaps something like a three class system - board members, active developers and normal users. So we would have a democracy of peoples who are qualified by technical expertise. Does this be safe enough?

The following things must be discussed. So please take them as proposals:

1. Board members must/should be active developers.

If we want that the active developers elect the board then we must define who are active developers.

2.1. A person is an active developer if he contributes code in the last 1/2/3 years which moved into the official source code revision system.

2.2. A person is an active developer if he contributes documentation in the last 1/2/3 years (perhaps we should define a volume here).

Please take this like usual as a first, fast and usually erroneous approach. So who has better definitions?

Michael
