This is actually the main problem that I am determined to fix: the problem is real and the consequence of it is evident in the status of the OFBiz codebase. The situation will greatly improve when committers will understand that we *have* to use our commit rights to serve the OFBiz community by implementing what is decided in the OFBiz dev list (and not to freely contribute our own code to the project). In the past this didn't happen also because there was not a common strategy for the project and so "every contribution" was good for the project and every committer was authorized to contribute what she/he wanted... this was an anomaly that we are now fixing but of course we have to face with the resistance from committers that were used to do what they wanted to without constraints. But I am very determined and confident that this will soon be fixed because committers can't use the power, that the OFBiz PMC gave them to serve the project, to block or refrain what the community decided and so we will have to get comfortable with the new situation (and the OFBiz PMC will oversight this situation). Kind regards, Jacopo
