If the democracy is just pretend, then above all, you certainly will agree that my SDR code would have been pushed to git master. It was not. So far, we have 1 thread that was moderated for a few hours by one moderator (not even me) And one (or more) thread(s) that was/where moderated by the democratically elected community commitee, which was elected by an election overseen by you. FFmpeg was and is led by the community. (since a long time btw and noone suggested that to change) FFmpeg was and has a technical commitee for technical disagreements FFmpeg has a problem with the tone on some of the recent mail threads. The democratically elected community commitee has tried to improve this. That did not entirely work. So i intended to help. Which now results in people to accuse me of close to everything imaginable including things that where shown false already. This results in huge amounts of time in a back and forth of accusations and argumentation, time that could be spend on FFmpeg development. That simply does not belong on the FFmpeg development mailing list. We can do a vote on a simple. Is arguing/commenting about people ok on ffmpeg communication channels? * yes * no Such a vote seems redundant. But if you want? We can do it, to have a fully democratic foundation here. thx and merry christmess [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Concerning the gods, I have no means of knowing whether they exist or not or of what sort they may be, because of the obscurity of the subject, and the brevity of human life -- Protagoras
