Well Paolo, I would say that this kind of decisions should be taken by the original author and actual maintainer. So the main question is: Armin where do you want to go with pmapper? Should it become a real cooperative project or continue like now as a one-man-project with you as leader, developer, maintainer etc. etc. I personally think that you (Armin) have done an impressive very good job, I like pmapper and continue to use it in my projects, but I agree with Paolo (and other members of this list) that sometimes a broader discussion about new features or how to fix some issues and bug should be taken. Ok, now we are just saying we would like to participate more in pmapper development, also contributing patches, plugins, code, ideas documentation etc. But to allow a better cooperation we definitely need a code repository and a bugtracking system plus a comitee of major contributors who will take the final decision on controversial topics. At least this is how other Open Source projects work. As a final note, I (and probably others) will not duplicate our job inserting bugs and fixes in two systems or discussing in two lists, I really hope we will find a constructive and cooperative way of improving pmapper.
