    Re: U+1 team leadership

    I've come to understand that Ubuntu communities (maybe much of FOSS communities in general) generally seem to work better as a meritocracy than a democracy. It took me a while to figure it out.

    *I* am, as I think the reasons for U+1 existence and the team goals, as defined there, still make sense. But if anyone comes to me with new ideas that improve the team and, maybe more importantly,...

    Yeah, I mean, there are some differences from MediaWiki syntax, which is what most people are used to, but the syntax is not really the problem for me. As long as the thing render pages and allows us...

    Poll: Re: U+1 Team

    About MoinMoin: I'm not sure when Ubuntu adopted MoinMoin to it's wiki, or what was the rationale. MoinMoin relies on files instead of storing data in a DB. My *guess* is that it was harder or too...

    Hi Cariboo / Everyone,





    IMHO, ISO Testing team is NOT doing what U+1 was formed for. The original idea was to gather enough people and ideas to move testing away from automated testing and...
