FYI that's where it was decided although I would agree it was far from clear even there. This being said and at the risk of sounding evil and stubborn: FOSS has never been about demoracy. It's limited democracy at best, that is, democracy narrowed to a very defined set of decisions, with a strong meritocracy making up for most of everything and *sigh* documented processes. I'm afraid this time we skipped the documented process part. Please bear with us ;-) Best, Charles. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
