Don't be so sure. Every successful project is driven by strong individual(s) leading it. Once individual(s) are gone, with no strong successors, the project will go down. Your opinion is exactly what corporate managers want to believe, that they would set up some rules, and as long as those rules are in place and enforced, even monkeys can execute them and make the enterprise successful. But this is just a dream, a very comforting one, but not realistic. There is no successful governance by committee, or by popular vote, or by following some preset rules. Should be right people in place, this is the key. No 24/7, 365 security, sorry -) -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
