One does not rule out the other. The problem is, as pointed out by Jeffrey, that dependence on IRC may turn away a certain class of developers. The point you are making concerning wrong advice from non-MOTUs could be taken care of by the web interface, e.g. corrective comments could be attached, the wrong advice comment could be deleted by a MOTU or some such. -- Morten -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
