Nobody should be given commit access just because they asked.
I'm thinking nobody should be promoted to leadership until they have shown leadership. People with leadership skills should be welcomed, and their leadership credentials accepted only by weight of argument. At the moment there is an existing list of bugs, some have been present for quite some time. Anybody at all can work on those, perhaps they should be registered as developers just so their name can be pinned to them, but with the bare minimum of rights. All that we think we know about each other is what we say and do. You would hardly expect me to include on my CV matters that reflect poorly on me, and having read others' I can say they often gild the lily a little by claiming "involvement" when involvement means they made the tea and coffee, did the photocopying and ran messages. Or they claimed they managed a project. Many years ago there was a very famous Australian Government IT project called "Mandata." It was a complete and utter flop, and managing that project would be a feather in nobody's cap. Any new developers for SCID will come from amongst its users. While historically there has been little mail on this list, the developers might find it necessary to have a separate mailing lest. If they do, they still need to keep users in touch with proposed new features - which should be discussed on users - fixes and new releases. -- Santa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
