the aim of netpd is to provide a framework, in which selfwritten code can be used. i think this selfwritten code should stay in the authority of the author and not be moved to some 'superior' authority. something that we all want, are patches, that just work and are portable. i believe that this could rather reached by letting the principles of darwin rule (patches that don't work out of the box or are too complicated won't be used and so not distributed), rather than one needing to play god in order to keep the world running.
The word 'Authority' has a downside effect I didn't even expected, because it has an explicit sociological connotation linked to 'superior authority' that doesn't even make sense into the context of gnu softwares. By the way of authority, I mean coordinator(s) that has access to net-pd archives, cvs, or anything, and would communicate with patch authors about things that work, and other things that don't work. Maybe it's too much demanding, especially if there are not a lot of people that has access to the dev/distribution of the main net-pd patches. pk
