Jim, what is the discerning factor between being a Core Contributor or a Contributor (i.e. what makes a person a Core Contributor instead of a Contributor)? Right now, the draft seems to suggest that the difference is in the status of the person nominating and number of +1 and -1 votes. The desktop guys have criteria for this based on merit (like 'do x' to be eligible for Contributor status , do 'y' to be eligible for Core Contributor status). Shouldn't this CG also have some criteria? Menno -- Menno Lageman - Sun Microsystems - http://blogs.sun.com/menno
