[Foundation-l] How not to manage opensource project

[Bradypus]

Yep, here I am.

I have followed the thread and I would like to thank most of you, including 
Jimbo, for taking some moments to try to bring answers to my questions.

I have of course a special thank for Anthere, who brought the issue here.

For some of you, I would like to make things clear: in asking these 
questions, I never made a legal threat, I never made any threat at all, I 
was never rude to anybody and I never considered anybody's input otherwise 
than by assuming good faith.

At some point, of course, I had a small issue with Jimbo, as I am pretty 
sure he did not read my second and last message on his page. But I fully 
understand he is a super busy guy. I am just telling this because some have 
questionned my capacity to read what others are writing ;-)

In case you would be interested by what my conclusion is, well you can read 
it there: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Bradipus/Chat_with_Jimbo
The page has been completely reworked to facilitate reading for both 
language speakers (french and english).
My current conclusions are pretty much the same as what they were a week 
ago, and the same as what lots of people said here.
So I guess now I did get it, although I think Anthere may be right when she 
says using words such as "govern" and "manage" might create an issue also 
with the outside world.

Still happy to discuss.
