RE: [ros-general] Wait a second...

A constitution is a set of rules: do's and don'ts.
Is that what you want?
It is a regulatory mechanism to control behaviour.
It sits between Law ands no Law at all.
It is a formality commonly associated with  corporations.

So far I don't see any reason for current behaviour to change.
Your founding principles seem quite sound to me. Why the panic?
Perhaps your current Strategic Plan  could be a bit more flexible.
But there are all sorts of sub-forums which can deal with superficial issues.
I suggest a cool down period, and agreement to disagree on particulars only.
But never a compromise on principle: they are either right or wrong.
If a better principle emerges then drop the old one and take on the new.
Otherwise let the opponents prove their point.

Earnie Boyd at MinGW-Msys is a good example of control by principle.

Regards and rosuccess

Can not agree more, Common sense and maturity because
all the people working in the project are doing so for
fun (and glory ;) in their spare time without a pay,
so noone can oblige them. Do as you want and play it
nice should be the word.
