<p dir="ltr">Yes, Lu, I understand there must be rules, of course... But that doesn't mean they are always fair/inclusive or that one has to agree with all of them or that they cannot change in the future (I passed 18 long ago :))</p>
<p dir="ltr">I could also ask for add-ons writing access, but even if I was granted that, it would feel like fake... since indeed I've never contributed an add-on. I don't think it is wise either to inflate developer community with ppl that have not contributed
an add-on, and that would not even be fair to those that have indeed done so. I would just like to have the right to vote as the (bothersome) user I am... I mean, maybe I'm the only one, dunno, but if not interested or committed to the project why would someone
else or anyone in any case want to involve him/herself into this? :P </p>
<p>So, in conclusion, not to make it endless, it would be great if upon request/approval users could vote either in this occasion or in future elections... GRASS is shipped with contributors and contributors-extra files, maybe those are good starting points,
no? :)</p>
<p>Thanks a lot! </p>

I understand that you would like to votes, and I think you should<br>
vote, but some rules should be present, something like 18 to vote (at<br>
least in Italy)<br>
Maybe you could ask for svn addons access, I think PSC could approve<br>
this, you worked for documentation and you could help also in<br>
translation.<br>
