Well, after this dragged on for well over half a year now and things got stalled several times this was not the kind of response I was expecting. But I'll gladly pick up the ball you passed here to ask a more general question or raise a more general concern I've been having lately. Quite frankly, as of late, when it comes to OE governance, I've been uneasy a lot. For one, there's this ominous group of OE core that does a lot of things behind closed doors. It is not completely clear when and why it was established, why the communication is not open, who is a member and how it relates to ordinary members of the community. Is OE still an open project? Is anybody outside core just a little-valued monkey from which we gladly take code but leave out of any kind of steering decision? I am sure everything is alright, but I think some clarifications are in order. Looking forward to it. Regards Rolf
