At present I focus on building a farm compiling packages. 10 days x 10 hours a day to set-up the hardware and software and this is far from complete. I admit to use sarcasm during this public discussion. You know, I am a big fan of Sheldon Cooper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Cooper) but I would not like to be part of his team for free software development. What you are proposing us is writing a pure software with zero bugs, one reviewer and probably (this is sarcasm) zero user. This will not succeed, because such an organization only exist in companies like Microsoft or in Deamland (this is sarcasm), not GNU/Linux. The only reason for locking OpenSC is that it is a security software. I don't believe this is relevant, as MOST security software are open and people collaborate without restriction. > This is an utter phallacy. An open source project can never be a > democracy, and trying to create democracy is nothing but feelgood > bureacracy. You focus too much on "code review", not "collaboration". This can only lead to a situation where code reviewers are flooded under too much work. Unless we pay them, this will not work. Or maybe getting paid someday is a goal of the new organization? The only alternative is to rely on the community at large, as always in a community project. In short: we want flexibility & freedom. There will be no paid work on reviewing code by "authorized people", like it is sometime the case at pcsc-lite project. Furthermore, we don't want organizations like Gemalto or PCSC group or any other company to decide whether the code quality is relevant enough to reach production.
