When a so-called "audit" problem happened, it was almost the same  
(personal problems between developers, namely Hartmut Birr, Ge van  
Geldorp, Casper Hornstrup and Alex Ionescu, which resulted in mutual  
charges of various bad and made up things, and gladly picked up by  
some people related to Wine team to suppress ReactOS project  
development).

And yes, James, there was a democracy back then, and all decisions  
were made according to the consensus of Project Members.
But do you remember what this led to? And where would it go if Mr.  
Geldorp would not help (even though he wasn't "at my side"!) and Mr.  
Bragin would not back up the repository and open it up for further  
development?

As for Repository Coordinator, why made up positions where there is  
no need? Coordinate what? And yes, I not only assumed, but took full  
control, in order to prevent situations like "audit fiasco" in future.

If you see how much outburst and disclosing private information  
(vulnerable to at least one person!) Magnus Olsen did, it,  
unfortunately!, proofs he's mentally unstable, and can not take part  
in this project. He's welcome to send in patches though, I won't mind  
reviewing them, since legally his work could go into ReactOS repository.

If there are further questions, don't hesitate to continue  
discussion. I want to clear this up once and for good. One thing  
which I ensure you, there will be no committers who work against the  
project and open source.


With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin.
