Yes critique - but telling MarCons to leave their position is not critism but kicking them out. > I disagree with this approach when it comes down to the situation we > have at hand. You don't know what the situation will be - some will leave without saying nothing at all others (like Ryan) will say goodbye in a quiet way and I would have fought if it was me. OpenOffice.org is an open source project and you cannot use the usually business or corporate way to manage situations. Kicking people off the projects without taking an open discussion and hearing what the rest of the project members have to say is not the open source way - not if it have to succeed in the long run. If you only criticise off list then only the one who is criticised will see what is criticizable so the rest of the project members does not learn from it. And the rest of the project members can't respond if your critism is wrong. You can view criticizable behavior as a bug - and in open source projects bugs are discussed openly. > I will only now consider public critique to Ryan at his request. When you become a member of an open source project you will be a target of public critic - escpecially from you peers. > The Project Leads are responsible for the recruitment of and liaison > with MarCons.
