I have the feeling it is a bit less respectful nowadays :-( This is the part that worries me more. > This caught my attention: > > On Sun, Feb 02, 2014 at 04:10:06PM +0100, Nils Kneuper wrote: > > > > As far as we over here are aware we are all peers with no clearly defined > > "management infrastructure" which will always have the last word. > > Are you aware of this: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tyranny_of_Structurelessness > > I'm starting to think this "nobody is in charge" attitude, which I also know > from other communities, can lead to people holding back.

I'm also not sure how to resolve it, but at least some discussion regarding the subject has started. However I think that working together doesn't need people to boss around or being bossed around. But it would be nice if an idea/direction can be discussed upfront and accepted or vetoed. Who gets to decide that can be a `dictator', but it could also be a democratic vote, or something completely different. At least Ivanovic has been nice enough to start several threads regarding the topics we discussed at the FOSDEM, so we can discuss some of (the more controversial) ideas upfront before starting to work on them. So maybe that helps to get a bit more structure in the development. -- Regards, Mark de Wever aka Mordante/SkeletonCrew _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
