Couldn't agree with this any stronger and for one apricate it being said. In a way I need to hear it myself too. I am sure coming into grid chat like I do and asking so many newb questions might be annoying but having everyone there give some gentle nudges on how the 9 way is has been helpful. Like my frogfind script up on grid disk, it was calling mothra directly originally but now just plumbs the url thanks to a suggestion on grid chat and some rethinking of the problem. But honestly the community has been nothing but helpful and as for a Plan9 core team; it feels like there already is a core team without there being a risk of death by committee of an formal core team. Let along that anyone who finds there way to supporting the community at large is a contributor to that so called "core team". Guess what I'm saying here is while I'm a bit on the newer side I do agree overall that there does not need to be a core team since p9p, 9front, and 9legacy have a small enough contributor base, community, and design philosophy that a formalization doesn't fit in or make any sense. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T5bdb5197344e4e7f-M1b1a00ca5bee02ee2ffbc041 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
