(I'll presume people can read Ian's post for his reasoning, so that I don't have to quote it) Personally, I think non-DDs participating is great; the only problem comes when that starts becoming a way for people who aren't members of the project to block development; which can happen either by people spending time arguing with non-DDs unnecessarily or by people thinking that people speak for the project when disagreeing, though they don't. Avoiding that is a challenge, but an easy first step is just to say something when people might mistakenly think someone who's not a DD is speaking for the project. Cheers, aj
