(If you don't get a response, raise the severity). 4) It can be handled by peer-pressure. (bring the problem up, with names, on -devel or IRC) politely asking for disposition of your bug. If it's not important enough to take steps like this, it's probably not so important that it can't be ignored for "an excessive" amount of time. > 2. Having that, there should be policy allowing the dismissal of people that > gratitiously violate policy. It's implicit. Do we need to make it explicit? What is "gratitiously"? Who'll make the accusation? Where will the burden of proof be? (ie. was it gratitious? not was it a violation). This is another thing I think can be handled via peer-pressure. If you(general) think someone is "gratitiously violating policy" bring it up on one of the lists and let the whole project decide and decide action on a case by case basis. -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <>< * * -------------------- * -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- ---------------* * Darren Benham * Version: 3.1 * * <gecko@benham.net> * GCS d+(-) s:+ a29 C++$ UL++>++++ P+++$ L++>++++* * KC7YAQ * E?
