Which is inherently flawed since it enforces rules on the people who are doing things all around the entire tree fixing stuff they find and are merely trying to improve the system. This all boils down to the bigger picture again: People who just want to get the stuff better and people who want to get it better, but insist on rules. Which in itself is part of the bigger picture that the project is divided into a few categories of people, some of whom are tight-anal with regard to rules, others just demand a heads up, a bunch of others want a commit review first and another group just don't give a flying hoot and will just fix it if you made a mistake. >How would you design it? Not. But I happen to fall in the ``work towards the common good using common sense in social interaction'' kind of group. And having to read a, what's definately going to be bigger, list just to see who likes what and how he wants it baked is a serious timestopper on most of my activities, and no doubt others too. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven / asmodai / Kita no Mono asmodai@[wxs.nl|xmach.org], finger asmodai@ninth-circle.org http://www.softweyr.com/asmodai/ | http://www.[tendra|xmach].org/ And if it comes, the living will envy the dead...
