By definition these 'potential new and unknown contributors' are discrete and probably can't be characterized as a whole. However, seeing myself as one of the discrete elements in that group, I think it's worthwhile for me to pipe in here and say that I won't be 'offended' or think of it as nepotism if someone gets foo-privilege before I do because he happens to know core developer (some other 'potential new contributer' lurking here feels otherwise? - speak up!). I don't know the community (yet) and I can't say this for sure, but my current gut feeling about the Python community (and pretty much any OSS I can think of) is that in the long run, I'll be judged on merit just like any other guy, no matter who they know. - Yaniv _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
