Bonjour Carl,
I understand your point of view. Deciding alone is the quickest way to decide.
It is an argumentable and reasonable choice than I don't have to discuss. It is
yours.
In many cases I also take this road, depending on the matter and what I want to
acheive.
Collaborative work surely slows any decision process (however it certainly
speeds the implementation process when correctly tackled. Imagine you had
started a collaborative work six monthes ago. Whith half a dozen programers, it
could already contain all what you plan for the next three years.).
I understand you may not feel like a working group catalyst and prefer the
programming work.
You may also have side-interests such has proving yourself/a potential client
that you have some programing skills.
It is perfectly legal and understandable.
I am not discussing your choices.
I was just explaining the reason why I am not in a hurry to join such a wagon.
It is a mere question of workload.
Whith three little children I have reached a point where I have no more time to
spent on projects that don't give me some feedback.
Open-source projects are giving return since one learn from others. Closed
projects don't give that return.
