I've talked to Ulrich about this issue. Besides, I'm talking to Richard Stallman too. I think that there's unfortunate discommunication here. I agree with Ulrich and Mark, there's already some cooperation in effect, and we don't see the reason why we need the committee. Furthermore, I support current development style of GNU C library, --- one person (with helps of others) eventually make the technical decision) ---, as it's very important to keep the library sane and consistent, say, fighting against pressures from kernel, distributions, and applications. But let's stop blame Richard here, it's not fair. Well, I don't like the discussion who "control" which. However, I could understand Free Software Foundation would have some requests to GNU C library development. I don't think there's some specific technical request. Just my guess, there's concerns for manual prints, WWW page maintenance for the software, preparation of release of CD-ROM, copyrights and license issues, and such. My proposal is: (1) Keep current development style. Ulrich make technical decision for GNU C Library development. (2) Fill the gap between us and FSF. I, for myself, work for that. Listen from FSF or Richard, and think about it, work for solution on non-technical issues. --
