Yes, it is not supposed to be posted as a core issue unless Rich OK's it here. I just had a discussion about just this "meta"-issue on IRC. Chouser says that Rich still reads every message on the group. See also the further-up discussion in [1] for more procedural details, where it is also suggested that an explicit sign-off here should be required for posting clojure.contrib issues.

I know Rich and the team are very busy, but it really saps my will to contribute when I have to keep pushing to get an authoritative answer (be it yes or no) on even (what seems to me to be) a fairly uncontroversial change like this one, or [2]. [2] http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/5d11bc0da25a7ecc?hl=en# Sorry for taking your question as a jumping off point for whining about not getting attention. I guess my short answer is: the policy is fairly clear, but its current implementation may be discouraging potential contributors like myself. -Jason --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
