Haha, I went back and reread that thread as well. Everything old is new again! The difference between then and now is that the subjects of the "experiment", Thrift and ESME, have graduated and apparently become happy top level projects. > Given all this and the balance of the discussion back in August 2010 > and recent discussions relating to this topic I am +1 for an expansion > of the experiment. +1 for measured expansion. On the subject of mentoring individuals: Lucy wasn't part of the experiment, but after I joined the IPMC, the situation became similar, and I've been expected to operate under similar rules to Byran Duxbury of Thrift and Richard Hirsch of ESME. Lucy Mentors Chris Mattmann, Joe Schaefer and Chris Hostetter have all put in a lot of time and thought working with us on community health and outreach and transitioning away from our former BDFL governance. I haven't been the only beneficiary of these lessons, but by moving to more of a support role I've probably had to stretch the furthest, and thus I may have reaped the greatest rewards. (Peter Karman has stepped forward to handle more leadership tasks, but he was already an accomplished manager so the role is familiar; other people are coding more but they already had that down cold!)
