I agree with that. To expose committers affiliations before graduation, I suggest the following questions: a) What are your company affiliations? b) Does your activity in the project depend on being paid by those companies? c) If yes, to what extent (along the lines of Matt's "more than 4 hours a workday" threshold)? d) Which other committers do you have a "backchannel" with, i.e. who do you regularly talk to outside of the project's mailing lists? I think d) is also an important measure of independence, as it's hard for people who meet for coffee every day to restate on the public lists everything that happens on their backchannel. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
