Or maybe you should get used to bringing up important decisions on this
mailing list instead of discussing them in private? I doubt it is the
way to an open and peaceful project-management if you simply decide
things where you can be sure to only have "yes-sayers" around ...

How about first agreeing on details and then continue with making things
official?

Some people are _very_ close to ruining everything we agreed on. I can't
believe nobody learned from all that happened ... 

.... this is truly disappointing.
