Sure. But assume you have the choice of either replacing the barn today with one where you know the roof leaks and you'll have a hard time fixing it, or wait another few months for the barn designers to get their job done... > and we're deciding whether the ODbL > meets our needs (I say "our" because I joined the Foundation a few days > ago.) I believe the Foundation intends to give a vote *only* to those who were members in good standing as of January 23rd so your few days had better be 40-ish if you want to have a say in the matter. > Until the ODbL is finished, we kinda have nothing to talk about. 1. Are you aware that the initial OSMF timeline planned for ODbL final to come out on 28th March and OSMF member votes due on 7th April? Do you think that these 10 days would be sufficient to have a fruitful discussion? 2. If we wait until it is finished and *then* complain about things that were known even now and that we could have helped to fix in advance of the date, then Steve would (for once) rightfully complain about people just sniping from the sides and not having an interest to help. No?
