Well, here's the thing... I've been told by various devrel members that: * devrel doesn't do "broke the tree" enforcement, that's QA's job * devrel doesn't do "broke the tree" enforcement, that's the council's job * devrel doesn't do "broke the tree" enforcement, that's the management's job * devrel are the only people who do enforcement, and that they decide when they do it * devrel are the only people who do enforcement, and that they need to be told by QA when they need to do something * devrel are the only people who do enforcement, and that they need to be told by a manager when they need to do something When you add in things that drobbins, the council and various managers have said it becomes even more contradictory. So I'd say it's not a very clear area at all... -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
