I'd like to cast my vote for the endorsement camp. In his counter-argument John managed to point out almost all the points I'd make for this, but I'd like to add two more: Friendship implies a reciprocal relationship. Endorsement is much more clearly unidirectional thing. Related to this, I have conceptual trouble understanding how I can be a "friend" of a cookbook recipe. Endorsing one I can understand perfectly well, though. The word is a bit long, admittedly, but I can't think of a better one. > - what would I be endorsing exactly? that it's secure, or bug free, > or the maintainer(s) are responsive to questions -- without a > comment, a reader wouldn't know what was being endorsed So there should be an opportunity to add such a comment to an endorsement -- or whatever term is picked. In fact, that comment ought to by default include a mention of the current version of the recipe. eemeli _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
