Actually...I have thought about this...and I have some reservations about how this is graduating.
I had to step back and look at the email lists and contributions, and discussions of this project. There are several folks who deserve to be a part of this initial group. I see people who have been much more active than some on this initial list. There have to be some hurt feelings here, as I know I am. I don't believe this is a way to start off a project by making an elite group. It is against my ideals of having a special group, and its somewhat of a slap in the face of those who have been contributing in one form or another. Therefore, I am changing my vote to -1.
