Van Dyke" Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2002 02:25:21 -0500 My observation, as a relative outsider to Guile, is that not all the people who are doing the bulk of the work on Guile are having a proportionate say in Guile's direction. this is difficult to measure in any case. Lack of say is a disempowerment of programmers, and, once there is the inevitable disagreement on points that the disempowered programmers care about, this creates morale problems. All of which seems antithetical to the spirit of free software. well, you're sliding from disproportionate to lack but i follow you. what is the ideal proportion? how do you determine this? thi _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
