+</I>&gt;<i> As said before. There is no problem with having &quot;masters&quot; and &quot;padawans&quot; (I
+</I>&gt;<i> would prefer that term to apprentice :D ) when it comestotechnical decisions.
+</I>&gt;<i> I hope that all (orat least most) people involvedin mageia will let the people

+</I>&gt;<i> discussions on the mls do read different).
+</I>&gt;<i> I do understand and support the need for reviewing the work ofnew packagers,
+</I>&gt;<i> correcting it and teaching those new packagers how to build better packages
+</I>&gt;<i> but that is - as I said - a technical decision, in which nothing at all can be
+</I>&gt;<i> said against a master-padawan-thing. Even if those new packagers have
+</I>&gt;<i> builtrpms for years (because I have seen quite some rpms fromlocal communities
+</I>&gt;<i> whose spec files made me shudder).
+</I>&gt;<i> But I do believe, when it comes to policy decisions (like electing board
+</I>&gt;<i> members and so on) there should not be those who have a vote and those
+</I>&gt;<i> whodoesn't. Certainly there must be some kind of differentiation between active
+</I>&gt;<i> community members and passers-by who just want to &quot;troll vote&quot;. But as you
+</I>&gt;<i> described it initially, a majority of the active community members (like those
+</I>&gt;<i> poor folks who did community work for years now in their local communities)
+</I>&gt;<i> would be excluded from deciding the directionthe community as a whole does
+</I>&gt;<i> take.

+I don't think it'll happen this way. It's not going to be some people
+will be in charge of decision making forever.
+
+If you look at the association board itself, you'll see that it'll be
+replaced by third every year; it's built this way. So even a new
+packager, once he proves his commitment/competence, becomes an old
+packager.
+
+Note that a period of time is needed for a new guy who starts
+working/contributing in a new place to gain people's trust/confidence.
+(trust is gained not given, right?).
+
+(For example you, in MUD, you have a packaging team; say you,
+doktor5000 and tigger-gg are the old packagers (though girls never get
+older than 30 ;)); a new guy wants to contribute, he must will take
+some time to prove his worth / that he can be trusted / competence
+before you give him decision-making privileges. He'll be the new guy
+until a new new guy joins.).
