That may have been the wording in his email, but not on the wiki; my reading was similar to Bill's and had been a good part of why I hadn't signed (yet?) either. While I'm finally chiming in... It turns out that Luis' arguments were almost enough to get me to sign. Actually, I still might; I'm kind of wavering on the edge. The thing that's still tripping me up is that my vote would be based mostly on the info from Luis, which is stuff that most people in the foundation probably would have no clue about if they hadn't read his recent emails (I sure didn't know about it before, though it makes sense from what I do know[1]); it just seems weird to have a large group vote on an issue when this group is quite possibly not fully aware of the reasons behind it. And I'm not sure whether those reasons will all come out even if we have the debate (it sure seems this thread went on for quite a while before Luis even chimed in with those details). Just my $0.02, Elijah [1] I was even considering running for foundation board at one point last year almost exclusively for the reason that I thought it was embarrassing that very few people were running. I was kind of relieved when all the slots finally did fill in not long before the deadline. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
