Core dev team to small?

Is the core dev team to small and would a bigger team bring things along?

Bring things along?

Well, my 2 cents: I think things are fine and I don’t think adding developers will necessarily “improve” anything.

I don’t think the core team is small, there’s some projects where it’s only one developer in it.

As afor moving things along, what would you like to see?

IMHO the problem isn’t the size of core dev team but its existence. With all my respect to code maintainers, I don’t think that a few changed lines in seven months is “development”.

Re: Core dev team to small?

The size of the core dev team is not decided by public debate. The speed of development will always depend on the available *free*-time, so at times it will be slower and at other times faster, and sometimes a lot of things that are happening will not always be visible.

Adding people does not speed things up. Christopher above was nice enough to make the obligatory Brooks Reference [go read it, if you’re unfamiliar with it]. There’s plenty of open-source projects where you can see the same in action.

Currently I don’t see a point in having this discussion. If I am mistaken, please feel free to contact me and convince me to re-open this discussion (I will, if there is indeed a point in having this discussion).

Your contributions seem to have gone missing. Perhaps you could resend them.

Thanks,
