i hope no bad blood spawns from this. i don't believe it should, we have all
worked together and we know each other pretty well. (in this enviornment) so
there is no reason to believe that will happen. if it does i expect it to be
someone who joins later and then wants to demand control.

i think that the seniority model works except that it needs to be geard a
little more to experience. not say time we've been programmers, but the
experience we have on areas of the code. so already we know that Edward
built the Skindoc designer and converted all the code in svn currently. not
that all of it will be used maybe, but he knows it better than the rest of
us. Esteban took care of the plugin system so he knows more than us there.
even if others have worked on a plugin system, he also knows what it takes
for an ide specifically and more specifically for what dev has in it. you
get my drift. so since we are all starting here at the same time, it makes
the most sense that the developer who knows the area in conflict best have
the highest dibs. but majority still rules.

as for newer comming devs, they never get quite the rights we do. not that
there is going to need to be a seperation, but we all created this from the
beggining and have experience with the last project, this is somewhat a
continuance of. so they just don't have the experience is what it boils down
to.

also if someone has to take a leave for a long time, they need to be
decrimented in powers upon return till they can catch up with any changes
they are not farmiliar with. hopefully nobody has troubles for months at a
time. ;)

that is how i feel. i can't comfortably vote on a plugin approach since i
don't know anything about them. i can suggest what is availible to the api
though. so an example why seniority over experience in the codebase is my
opinion.

also the basic idea behind what we are doing needs to be looked at (that
goes without saying obviously.) so will it screw up the Dev feel? if it is
removable, it doesn't have to.
