Ibere, Thank you for your response. I did not know this about Julien, however, I suspected something as such. The community does seem to be self-regulating for the most part but perhaps some type of consensus decision making style Release Manager may be of benefit. No, I have not, yet, read Jono Bacon's book-its on my list. I have read Eric Raymond's CatB and Butler Shaffer's Boundaries of Order( a study of the nature of human organizations and institutions). But, my original query still goes unanswered( and perhaps there is no answer)?
