I'm not sure it says that. I think it says that collectively we probably don't grok the particularities of mono. If we don't have people who understand mono's quirks as it relates to packaging, we are going to make mistakes in review. Its a chicken and egg problem to some extent. Since I personally don't use mono for anything, I don't personally have an adequate understanding of what it takes to package it. And if I don't have an adequate understanding of packaging it, I'm not going to review mono submissions...even if I had the time. I would imagine that other contributors feel the same way as I do. The frustrations being expressed with regard to mono, probably means there needs to be a proactive and long term effort by mono supporters to create some sort of mono task force inside this project. Such a group could be both a mutual assistance group for review and maintainance and it could help educate the general Fedora community concerning mono usage and development. But it will most likely have to recruit members with existing knowledge of mono from outside of the existing Fedora contributor pool. So the question becomes... what is preventing our internal mono supporters from recruiting active and experienced mono users/developers to join our contributor pool to build a critical mass of mono experience inside this project? -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
