Gnome In November 2007, we reported on the GNOME Board Elections of 2007, where Jeff Waugh was getting serious slack flack from some people in the GNOME community. One of the complaints centred around Waugh's apparent inability to properly take care of requests to be syndicated on Planet GNOME, or other maintenance issues related to PGO. Six months later, this complaint is still valid, according to Rodney Dawes.

I read about this on another site. It all seems rather petty to me.

If it is truly a "community" site maintained by the "community" why doesn't someone, or a group of people (a community maybe) just take over the roll of maintainer... why all the dancing around?

If the job isn't getting done someone else needs to do it and stop waiting. Or else it makes everyone, the community, look inept.


Unless of course it is that particular guy's job and he has the keys and isn't handing them over.
I don't know, frankly.

Anyway, there's one golden rule in any volunteer project like [Planet] Gnome: if you don't do anything - that's fine. But don't ever prevent other people from doing something - for example, by being stuck in whatever function where people are expecting you to do things you're not going to do.
