Anthony: Oh no... here come the contribution measurements again...
Alain : A sticky issue indeed. I know that it's hard or impossible to
come up with a hard-and-fast rule that can unequivocally determine
whether someone has genuinely "contributed". But even if this
evaluation remains subjective, it should nonetheless be a criteria that
weighs in favour of or against the inclusion of new candidates.
Anthony: I think I like Scott's(?) proposal that those already with a
MetaCard licence vote for new licence applications is good.
Alain : Yes, but how will these licence-holders decide whether a
candidate genuinely wants to collaborate instead of merely getting a
free copy of MC ?
Anthony: To start, maybe Adrian, Alain, Uli, MP0werd, Rob,
spierlings(sp?), the two Michaels, and I would get a licence.
Alain : Good idea. It only gets more complicated LATER when the
"general public" catches on.
