I'm a non-DD. Non-DD's do have the right to speak on mailing lists marked with "not moderated; posting is allowed by anyone". I accept the fact that non-DD's have no decision rights in the Debian project, simply because non-DD's are not part of the decision making structure. I don't feel discouraged nor demotivated from participating in Debian's discussion media. I'm convinced that good input from non-DD's is used by DD's, and I'm flattered that I'm allowed to maintain a few packages. > > Greetings > Marc > > -- > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
