This issue of LWN has a great
insight into Bdale Garbee's thoughts about Branden and the future of
Debian. I am a bit more optimistic then Bdale on this. I think that
there is a definite need for a single project leader for Debian. This
practise has been proven right by many open source projects (both
successful ones with leader and unsuccessful ones with such). A leader
provides focus and the trouble spot to prod the inactive parts of the
project. Also public representation is a critical part of a leaders
duty.
I see
Project Scud
as a great proding for the stallemate in the top leadership structure of
Debian.
Anyway, I hope we will discuss it more troughtly at
Debconf5.
