I think it would be good to tone down our language quite a bit. ;-) I am for seeking consensus and looking for a way to address everyone's reasonable desires and concerns. However, I do fully support the goals and policies of the SC, and I am not for any kind of disruptive situation within the project. I want to see some good communication between us all, to see what *positive* ways forward we can find, which must then be submitted to the SC for discussion and approval/disapproval. > One aspect that this entails is definition of scope and setting up teams to > manage these resources.

I think it will be good if we all discuss solutions that will achieve consensus among the greatest number. But, for me, those solutions have to tie-in with the overall goals and policies of the LibreOffice project, which is currently represented by the SC (and will, at a future date, be personified by the BoD and other institutions covered in the community bylaws). My experience has shown me that the SC members are quite open to proposals, as long as those proposals are considered beneficial to the project as a whole. It is up to us to be convincing and constructive in our communication - not conflictual and emotional. If we approach things in the right way, then I think we would stand an excellent chance of getting some worthwhile and interesting ideas approved. But let's everyone of us tone down the language a lot. We will ultimately achieve much more that way. And when we hold the confcall, I *implore* you *all* to desist from recriminations and blame and, instead, to focus on solutions for the future that will gain the satisfaction and commitment of the greatest number. My 2 cents. ;-) David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
