I disagree that Aaron J. Seigo is "trying to enforce his own rules on the others." I appreciate Aaron Seigo making recommendations including starting IRC meetings. Meetings are democratic. If Aaron Seigo intended to dictate, he wouldn't ask for feedback to hold the first meeting in January. Regarding "literally appearing from no where" we need to welcome newcomers. Newcomers don't need to wait in the background for an extensive period of time before speaking up. Newcomers are to be encouraged to participate. If they have enough chutzpah to make recommendations based on "incomplete preliminary information", it is a way for all of us to learn, act and become involved. I thank Aaron Seigo for his time, efforts, motivation and speed that he is getting involved.
Luke, I hope your shoulder heals quickly.
Happy Holidays everyone.
