Yes, we don't want the same situation as on the linux kernel mailing
list where there's a lot of people who just talk and try to make
decisions but never actually contribute anything real.
IMvHO people should be able to ask for oppinion on whether (and how)
to implement certain features. Having an implementation suggestion
that others can comment on is a good start. With the suggested changes
in hand, go and implement. And it should be pretty much assured that
the patch will get accepted.
Don't want lurkers to control the work done on AbiWord. But it usually
doesn't happen in OS projects, simply because patches speak louder
than words :)
