Greg, I totally understand your sentiment about "teams". However, if there are "leaders" in these areas, and the teams can be ad-hoc, how does that feel? The important thing, to me, is empowering more of the exceptional people in the community become stronger leaders (by vesting power and responsibility in them).
That feels great. (But how is that different from the MAINTAINERS.txt we currently have?)
Thanks, Greg
See my replies in this thread and the previous one. Explain to me what MAINTAINERS.txt actually *means* in practice and then we can say how some other proposal would be different.
Is it a GNU requirement? Or perhaps it is an autoconf one. Or perhaps became popular because of Linux distributions have one. I find no requirement in the GNU standard. So as I see it MAINTAINERS.txt could be instructions for future maintainers of the project. Something that gives direction to future contributors. Or it could be a list of assigned people who have responsibilities in some area of Drupal project management. -- Earnie -- http://r-feed.com/ -- http://for-my-kids.com/ -- http://www.4offer.biz/ -- http://give-me-an-offer.com/
