I am not the one to judge who is right or wrong. And please remark I did not talk about excluding projects, that would be very wrong ! I have worked mainly with international projects with participants from many continents (like many of our projects), and maybe that fact is the root cause of the problems I have experienced. Having to cope with china/europe/US within a 24 hour frame, often lead to the problems I described, and I can only assume it must be a lot harder with volunteers. I simply tried to suggest a middleway that might be (or might not be) acceptable to broader group. > This isn't new, or experimental.
