The current request is: "please, readers of python-dev, setup a team of 6-10 people to handle roundup or we'll go to a non-free software for bug tracking". This is something which I cannot cope with, and I'm *speaking* up against. Were the request lowered to something more reasonable, I'd be willing to *act*. I have to speak before acting, so that my acting can produce a result. And besides the only thing I'm really sniping the PSF against is about *ever* having thought of non-FLOSS software. This is something I *really* do not accept. You have not seen a mail from me with random moaning as "Trac is better", "Bugzilla is better", "why this was chosen". I do respect the fact that the PSF committee did a thorough and correct evaluation: I just disagree with their initial requirements (and I have not raised this point before because, believe me if you can, I really thought it was obvious and implicit). So, if your remarks apply to me, I think you are misrepresenting my mails and my goals. -- Giovanni Bajo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
