Correct. > Where did your vote say that only commiters are > allowed to vote? Non commiters are allowed to vote, and we consider that it is a useful indicator that the commiters are in-tune with the other contributors. Actually only the votes of the project management comitee are binding, as it says here: http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html However as I understand it it is practice for the commiters votes to be counted and the outcome of this to be endorsed by lazy consensus of the pmc. > I'm afraid that with this kind of attitude it > will be difficult to attract new developers. Our attitude is that we earnestly wish to hear from and respond to the views of all contributors. We value the casting of votes by non-commiters, and I had no intention of offending anyone by not reporting the number of non-binding votes. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
