Looking at my own applicatns I see those that applied because thay "wanted to help" but can't say exactly what they intend to do and then there are those who would be a great addition to the project but are just not ready yet, in regards to packaging, philosophy, etc. And I think this is a proposal is something most people could possibly agree on with, as the hurdle for cutting people isn't very high. The only problem would be, that if even one developer disagrees, he could start blindly recommending people. Then we'd return to the current situation. Nevertheless, I second the proposal. We should try it how it works in real life. -- Oliver M. Bolzer oliver@gol.com GPG (PGP) Fingerprint = 621B 52F6 2AC1 36DB 8761 018F 8786 87AD EF50 D1FF
