Florian, I think I have over-reacted, and I know this should not happen. Being a volunteer, I know that I have not been a good community member today, but I hope that this will prevent us from making mistakes in the future. We should aim to improve the process. In any case, social networks cannot become a community tool, because people who refuse to engage on mailing lists cannot be included in community decisions. The background noise on social networks is terrible, and does not allow to discuss in "business" terms (a system where you have "likes" is not a decision system by any mean). So, votes should happen only on mailing lists. We can decide to get the random opinion of users on Google+, but it should be clear that this is not going to have the same value as the same concept expressed on the mailing lists. -- Italo Vignoli - italo.vign...@gmail.com mob +39.348.5653829 - VoIP 5316...@messagenet.it skype italovignoli - gtalk italo.vign...@gmail.com
