Howdy, After a re-read of this thread, along with similar on the AOO dev/priv list and referenced ASF policy, or best practices, docs., I fully agree. Honestly, after this review my thinking has changed somewhat and there seems value still to be had in assuring that everyone is chasing the same ends. I'd like to address this in a context of project goals and best way to attain them, as an ASF project, so will move the general discussion back to AOO dev. I think the group can come to a reasonable consensus from that approach quickly. Then, _if_ (or which) specific changes to current ASF norms truly are needed, to best attain those goals, can go through the proper steps - which isn't this thread ;) Also - It may very well be that what needs addressing is already in the pipeline, IMO.
