If there is a I'd love for this to be *more* like an *ideal* democratic process. But the problem with this project is the same as the problem with most large democratic groups: apathy. For example, the main page of the web site has for about 11 months read: > A rewrite of the Fedora Legacy Project Overview is in progress at > http://www.fedoralegacy.org/wiki/index.php/UpdatedOverview.

Not one. Not a single person. No one. Nada. You get the idea. The main problem I have with people expecting so much from the project is that almost no one seems to even care to take the time to help in even the most trivial ways. > decision that I feel requires community input, I'll bring it here.

If And most likely you will either get no answer, or just conflicting arguments from which nothing is settled, if past history holds true. > you don't like this, you're welcome to start your own project. Good > luck w/ that. *grin* This really is a great project, dispite the small number of active participants. I don't think any better project could be created to do this function. There simply are not enough interested people to support another project to the level of support FL has achieved. That's not to say we're doing fine. But I think we're doing as good as we can without more people deciding to join in and help. People always say "I'd like to help but I don't know how." Well, read the Updated Overview and let us know what you think about it! It isn't that hard, and you would be helping. -- Eric Rostetter -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
