Hi Shlomi, Sorry for the delay in responding...I'm on my summer speaking tour at the moment and this is the first free hour I've had in two weeks. I appreciate you suggestion, and I'm watching Alias's experiment with considerable interest. You asked if there was a reason not to do this, and my reason is that I simply do not (yet) feel comfortable with this approach to distributed development. Nor am I convinced that it would be a win for me. Opening up the module to other committers doesn't eliminate the work, it just reduces it from development (which I enjoy) to supervision (which I loathe). And it doesn't address the real problem: it's not that I don't have enough time to maintain most of my modules...it's that I don't have *any* time to do so. Changing how that maintenance is done won't magically make that time available. All the best, Damian ------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.shlomifish.org/ 95% of the programmers consider 95% of the code they did not write, in the bottom 5%.
