At the OGB meeting today we discussed the planned user roles and
privileges[1]. There were several concerns raised.

Others with follow-up with there concerns, but I would like to
request the reasoning behind the decision to use the "Developer"
and "Affiliate" term instead of the "Contributor" term in the
Project and User Group collectives.

Unless there is good reason for adding these new terms, I think the
term "Contributor" should be used consistently across all collectives
to reduce confusion and eliminating the possibility of community
members interpreting that the role terminology implies different
status or capabilities. The current model especially impacts community
members that contribute to multiple collect types.

Cheers,
Jim
