I'm not at all worried about people pointing out mistakes to one and other. Not even if the mistakes are mine :-) My problem was not knowing about the policy and not finding it (maybe I didn't look hard enough). The trouble with open source is that it sometimes is a bit chaotic. I must say that apache and apr are rather streamlined in this light. These projects pay by being a bit bureaucratic once in a while. But, almost each and every open source project makes the same mistake (including projects I work on), we fail to document policies and guidelines properly. Or we forget to place them somewhere people can easiliy find them. For any new developers on a project this is a hurdle to take. Since the number of open source developers is not really large each hurdle is a potential scare away, which is too bad IMHO. [for the record, if you want to get rid of me, you have a lot more hurdles to set up :-) ] Going to sleep soon (2.10 am here...), Sander
