Quoting Mike Little <journalized@gmail.com>:

Roy, I don't have any right to commit, and I have nothing major to contribute right now. My point was about the closed nature of this open source project.

I wrote this message before seeing Matt's follow-up. I said:

"I thought it was outrageous that Mike Little had been denied committal, but of
course this could simply be a fluke"


This can now be rephrased:

"Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress, has no committal privileges which is
_outrageous_"

If you know "the cathedral and the bazaar", I'm claiming WP is a
cathedral with one high priest.

One last point in defence of WP coders, possibly saying what Mike cannot say for
himself.


No communication -> no orientation -> no ideas -> no contribution.

Get you act together, priests, and open up discussion with _impact_. IRC
transcripts? Does anybody expect proficient coders to read transcripts?!?! Or
even join IRC channels? I haven't been using IRC since I was 16.

Roy
