You've not said *why* you think that users can't be contributors. That's totally at odds with the inclusive communities we're trying to build here. A developer can also be a user, a user can also be a contributor. The roles *do* overlap and that's what the current definitions describe. Which of course does not meant that they *have* to overlap in any particular case. It ain't broken so don't try to fix it. You're the first person I've ever heard of who thinks there should be a wall between users and developers. -- Brane
