From: Mikkel Meyer Andersen To: Commons Developers List Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org Phil, I understand your opinion, but I don't agree with you (but I accept that you have a different meaning about things just as I expect you to accept mine). I'm sure this is quite common in projects like this, and are interesting in hearing how matters like this are settled? Are there any committers besides you - and how many? And do you guys they have some sort of private list where you discuss this or is it totally up to you to decide how this ends (maybe waiting for others on the list to have their saying)? I don't mean to be rude or impolite, so excuse me if I am; I just don't know how this stuff works.
