It's up to them to make the correct choice.. The choice to : help out and make their OS better, or to slack and hurt the project. I think that this is a dangerous attitude. People want to do these things, but often times other things come up to prevent them from putting the time into the project. You'll likely need, to run a successful project, some flexibility in this, plus assigning the tree to multiple people. It is far easier to give the tree out in small chunks than in large chunks. At least it is easier for people to finish them. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe security" in the body of the message
