No, I want to end this war now. NO need to create another.
What I say, is that we don't need leaders.
We've had them , it's not going to work, not for an opensource project. I mean, a leader is efficient when people obey him/her. But when it is an opensource/ not commerical project, when a member has no obligations over what the leader says, what can a leader do? tell me! I bet you can't, because there are none options.
I have said this already, there is no need to have a leader, perhaps an organizer, that's it, whoever wishes to contribute contributes, other's they simply don't.
Remember, XOOPS is not an organization, if it was we wouldn't have this type of problems. There were some attempts, but again, it doesn't work. Honestly, would you rather work yourself or have a person above you commanding, and making you work for nothing? If you choose to help out in Xoops.org it is your choice, not that of the leaders. They simply are physically and financially independant from you, they have NO CONTROL over you. THEY ARE NOT YOU BOSS, so if they ahve no function over other people, what is the point of they being leaders? I'm sure it's better have someone to help in organization, but not to lead or to boss around. Remember, XOOPS is not like military.
We better off not have a leader than have one. But we need and organizer!
