I don't think it's a Novell project. It's funded and strongly supported by 
Novell. But it should be a community project. We're not there yet but that is 
the long term goal. And as a number of community people work for Novell why 
should they are allowed only to vote for Novell people? We should deemphasise 
as much as possible the Novell / non-Novell thing. We are one community.
