Correct. The contributors listed on the proposal were those individuals I would like to see "with their acceptance" (as indicated in the proposal) be part of the group. I may have gotten things backwards trying to solidify a proposal for a Distribution Community and then asking those I wanted to see part of it if they would like to be, but it was the logical way to do things for me. I never assumed anyone I listed would accept a grant if the Community Group is indeed instantiated. > I'd say that's extremely promising news, and potentially extremely > /excellent/ news if we hear from them directly. I want to be clear that neither Erast's or Moinak's assent to be a contributor to the group is strictly an indication of agreement and willingness to be part of the proposed Community Group. It is not (to my knowledge) an indicator of things that will be done with the distribution projects they participate in. > P.S.

I can confirm that both Erast and Moinak assented. If you look at the blog post of the original proposal, I have indicated who has accepted so far: http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/2008/01/motion-to-board-proposed-community.html I have also made it even clearer which individuals are still "proposed contributors." -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben
