[Koha-devel] Release Manager 3.6

[Linda Culberson]

As  a) a newbie myself,  b)  someone scared to death of the development 
process but still wanting  to be involved, and c) one who wants a lot of 
things developed that will benefit the Koha community as a whole but 
specifically help Koha to work for archival institutions, I'm going to 
go against what seems to be the position of my support company (ByWater 
Solutions) and side with Paul on this one.  I'd be more willing to 
contribute to if I were "in a special state that  ensures that what I'm 
doing will be reviewed by someone experienced !"  The way Paul 
describes, I think, makes everyone "special"  - which we all are - just 
in different ways.  IMHO, it's not as much a  "hierarchy" (I'm better 
than you are and therefore look down on you) situation, as a fact of 
life.  I don't know what the compromise is, but I think there is bound 
to be one.

Sorry, if I overstepped by  voicing my opinion, since I'm not sure I 
even get a vote.
