No, re-read what I said. Ownership in the distro is quite a different ballgame from userend support.
Yes, but it seems to be rather closely held.
The option I was talking about was how that can change - people can step up to take ownership of various components in the distro - was that not clear in my email ? I can try and put this into a more verbose text and explain how something like this might work.
I think you are avoiding the real issue here, again and again. It's not about ownership. It's not about taking ownership. It's about making the process open. A simple wiki page describing what you are doing now, and a ftp URL with files to download would do. Then, everybody can contribute. There can be 100 people trying to fix a bug, rather than 1 person who takes "ownership" .. what's this ownership nonsense?
There has been extensive support and agitation among the user-base for more timely updates, particularly for security issues. It seems obvious to me that there is considerable room for improvement.
sure, I dont deny that. But when there are options available for people to help with that, noone seems really keen on getting on board. The few who do are actively discouraged from doing what they can.
A lot of people have been thinking rather hard about how CentOS can be improved. Please share your thoughts on what needs to be done, and carry through with a plan of action to accomplish it. Nobody is in a better position to do that than you are.
Sure, I am happy to do that.
