> Did I miss the developer vote on the version numbering scheme change?
A while ago we held a vote on the leadership of the project. The developers
strongly rejected the idea of a "Roman Senate" where all decisions would be
voted upon. They prefered to have an elected executive and ratified me to
hold that position and appoint other positions. I have held votes since then
when I felt that form of feedback from the developers was necessary. However
the only one I am required to hold is the annual vote for project leader.
The sense of the developers was that design-by-comittee could go wrong
and that a strong leader was necessary to guide the group. Excuse me for
bragging, but we've been incredibly successful under my leadership :-)
Want the job? It's available January 1. I'll decide whether I'm running
or not depending on who the candidates are. Let me warn you that it's
a really difficult job, it takes hours of your life every day, the pay
stinks, and you get lots of abuse.
Thanks
Bruce
