Also, I was wondering where such a decision was made.
The new Talk code was requested both on Village Pump and on
the mailing
list repeatedly. The user page stuff was simply a side
effect of that.
I mean is there someone who made the final decision? (probably one who has a right to submit a code to CVS) For example, in Linux after all Linus decided to apply a patch or not. Of course, he listen to people's opinion but he made a decision.
However, if you want to keep up with the latest changes and
possibly have
some influence, check out the code and start hacking.

Yeah, thanks. I don't think I can have influence though.
