Hi everybody,<br>
<br>
I'd like to ask for some feedback on prioritising work for the Google<br>
Summer of Code.<br></blockquote><div>[snip] <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
What do you think? We'll be discussing other aspects of this choice<br>
off-list among folks listed on <a href="http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsTeam" target="_blank">http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsTeam</a>, but I<br>
thought it was important that you all had some input into the technical<br>
choices behind this.<br></blockquote><div><br>At the risk of sounding rude...<br><br>What is the justification for having darcs related discussions off-list? It's an open source project with a public mailing list so I'm curious what motivates a private non-publicly archived discussion? Especially one that would appear to prioritize future development?<br>
<br>I realize that I'm the first one to reply to this thread publicly after a few days so it could just be a lack of interest on our user mailing list?<br><br>I would like to caution that having private discussions about GSoC projects could lead to less overall consensus, a deterioration of transparency for the project, and loss of the concerns that go into the decision making process. I unsubscribbed from the list because I think it's the wrong way to discuss the GSoC proposals.<br>
