I think I may have spoken a bit too fast on this. Of course I think users should be included too, though maybe in a second step, I don't know. Of course, developers (and not only maintainers) should be included too. The reason I originally said maintainers is that it in fact means "this project votes for it", also implying all users. > anyhow, why not do the obvious and combine the two approaches - the > developers/maintainers can draft a petitionary letter to the Kernel > developers, signed as you suggest "Speex maintainer" etc. this can then > be put up on an appropriately set up website where LAUers can add their > name in support ... I think just developers/maintainers of many packages at the same time should be enough. Otherwise, yes users will be the last resort (but it's harder to get them all) Jean-Marc -- Jean-Marc Valin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Université de Sherbrooke
