First of all, congratulations for your new job. However, about this quoted part, I have some remarks: if we can't handle being swamped by users, if we can't handle people wanting to contribute, if we can't handle people wanting to change stuff, and if our only way to cope with that is to be defensive and erect barriers, then we are a failure. Failure in communication, failure in organizing our work, failure in asking for help, failure on handling our resources. Finally, I prefer to consider such failures to fix ASAP rather than something we're stuck with. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
