Thank you both, again, for your answers! > Hope it helps
Yes it definitely did, and could cast aside most of my uncertainties. I have just a few quick remarks and follow-ups: >> In a related matter, many of the role descriptions of the core developers >> contain manager and leadership titles. > Hmm. Do you have a link? AFAIK we just have committers. I'm sorry, I guess my mistake here was not taking the separation between XWiki SAS and XWiki.org into consideration. I was referring to http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Company/Team, where three Project Managers, a Team Leader, a Communication Manager, an Administration Manager, a Support & Documentation Manager, a Research Manager, etc. are mentioned, so I thought these roles might be relevant. The same group of people working on the same projects in two different ways, this is still a bit hard for me to grasp. >> What, in practice, are the main tasks of the people managing the development? > There's nobody managing the development ;) > We're auto-managed. I see your point. So everyone (who is interested and dedicated) takes an equal part in making decisions? Do you think these collegial agreements would still hold if the base of contributors was significantly larger or wider spread, and therefore incorporated more diverse ideas about the project? Or would the system have to be adapted to scale successfully?
