Hi I am concerned, seen from my POW (and please excuse it is of course my personal pow), too many questions remain unanswered.
I am concerned because I would have expected the community to have clear answers (independent of whether I agree or not) to e.g. the concerns from Daniel. It seems to me (and I am sorry, being busy, I do not research thing, I simply read this thread), that there are issues with the community. I recognize that the activity on the ML is diverse FINE ! Concerns have been raised about a off-list issue system, that seems to be left open ? Concerns have been raised about the people behind the actual commits, that seems to be left open ? Concerns have been raised about the homepage, that seems to be left open ? When it comes to voting time, those are the questions I will check if answered in an acceptable apache way, if so I am +1, rgds jan I.
