Troy, Chris, DM and anyone else who is a leader here: >From my perspective, the community that has built up around the sword project is asking and pleading for a few changes. It is very clear looking through the archives from the past year that there is considerable discontent, and desire for a few simple changes. Two of these changes that appear to have complete consensus from everyone except perhaps the three this is addressed to are these:
1. Find some way to increase transparency in the module submission process. There have been several suggestions made, many of which could be implemented easily. It appears that the biggest complaint is that Chris has entire control of the process without any oversight or accountability of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address. In open source as well as in government, openness and accountability are always helpful in decreasing discontent. Although there have been many allegations made, I'm not accusing Chris of anything here, just saying that it would decrease discontent if there was more openness. 2. The sword project should maintain sources via svn of at the very least the public domain resources. There is very clear community consensus on this point as well. Open source projects that do not respond to feedback from their community either fork, die, or never achieve the success they could have had.
