I'm sorry that is not how things work. There is *always* an organisational structure and in some cases it's explicit, in others not so explicit. If it wasn't so, I should be signing off as "SABDFL" I don't have commit access to any of the repositories for open source projects. And that means I'm not equal to Linus with respect to the kernel, and it's not a violation of the definition of open source or my freedoms. And organisation structures exist in any grouping, watch some documentary on animal behavior for proof. What you are describing is called "Anarchy" --being quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy -- Anarchy (from Greek: an-, "without" and Greek: -archy, "leadership") Without leadership. Hence, the common use of anarchism as a system of organization without leaders. -- end quote-- > Secondly..

If your answer is in the negative The FOSS world needs self-starters and self-motivated people, if someone needs to be "pushed" they aren't cut out for the community. And not everyone needs to be. Not everyone can be a Doctor or Lawyer the same applies to FOSS contributors too. If you need to be "pushed" to do something you should probably not be doing it at all.
