I add that there is probably no perfect solution to this question. There is no intent to be exclusive. But tt is not always easy to ID who is actively contributing. For example, compiling and disseminating GRASS binaries is an essential contribution to the project, but anyone maintaining binaries does not necessarily need write access to the SVN, even though they might have such access. So we should probably continue to evolve how we identify contributors as the project itself evolves. However, changing policies in the midst of an ongoing election can cause confusion and possibly even more hard feelings that otherwise.
Yes, I understand. And, I do agree (point iii) in my other e-mail).
The main thing is for you not to feel badly about managing this first time election. An important principle is that we will begin to have regular elections to allow more participation and the ability to evolve how we manage this.
Not at all. I feel lucky to be part of this process. Nikos [rest deleted]____________________ _______________________________________________ grass-psc mailing list grass-psc@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-psc
