This is great! The key thing I see missing in both the Contributors and Core Contributors sections is a section on "Responsibilities". Specifically, what are the specific responsibilities that the Desktop Community feels that their contributors and core contributors must fulfil? Obviously, one of the primary responsibilities of a Core Contributor is that of voting. It is my firm belief that Core Contributors must demonstrate a continued willingness to participate in guiding their respective community and projects by participating in the voting process. Someone that continually (since there will always be exceptions) does not participate in the decision-making process of a community or project for which they are a core contributor should have their status re-evaluated. > Your application will be processed by a working committee oversee by > existing Core Contributors. Possibly s/overseen/administered/ ? Does this imply that members of the working committee would not have to be core contributors themselves but could be contributors and/or core contributors? -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall
