Re: Interview with Dustin Kirkland on Encrypted Private Directories

Matthew,
    I can see how it could go that way.  But I can also see how Launchpad can act as a filter between editors and contributors.  One doesn't HAVE to accept contributors to the ranks of the team.  However, those that are or will be long time contributors might just as well be called editors.  And, as with any team, there can be leadership, and controls on those who have been welcomed to the ranks of editor.  I think, perhaps, at this time there's little evidence that it is being abused or needs to be changed.

If the ubuntu-fridge team is for editors, then shouldn't the permission structure be that anyone can log in with their Launchpad id, and then the members ubuntu-fridge team can review and approve the story? If contributors have to join the ubuntu-fridge team, then that kind of misses the point in distinguishing between contributors and editors.       
The way Fridge <-> LP integration is set up right now, joining the ubuntu-fridge team makes you a contributor. The editor permissions are given on the Fridge backend.     
 Yes, I see that. I was just making the point that it doesn't make much sense... It shouldn't be necessary to join a team to be a contributor, and making it necessary also makes the team itself redundant, because there is now no team of editors.
