Hi Andreas,

hmm, when I join a common developer repository that has versioning, so
that nothing can be destroyed, I would expect that it works similar to a
wiki. Wikis are very productive and the quality outcome isn't bad. They
minimize the costs of communiction to maximize the contributions of the
members.

A workflow, that is defined by what people are not allowed to do, by it's
nature slows down productivity, as this example shows. All voluntary
developers have a limited amount of time for presence and communication.

Maybe the workfow definition could be a little opimized to better support
collaboration under the practical circumstances of voluntary extension
development, to prevent the splitting of the TER into thousands of
isolated projects.

Regards

Elmar
