Ultimately, we can't control every individual. Speaking as a project
though, we're absolutely interested in as deep collaboration as
possible -- particularly on this level.

If you think somebody is letting a "Debian Sux" attitude get in the

technical board to sort it out. We're all familiar faces from Debian
and we're all committed making this work. :) Those names can be found
