Because I like to look at it as everyone on the pear-qa ML are apart of the PEAR QA team in a one way or another, thus any developer can be a part of it, and thus even out side people. Side note, those requirements below are kinda, ... uhm... extreme ? 2 years of hands on experience on QA is too much I'd say. And I wouldn't want to eliminate a person from the Core team nor the QA team it self because he/she can't write/talk good enough English, it's enough to have _some_ persons that can handle that parts :) Rest seems kinda solid for members in the core team, maybe you might though want to turn this into a txt file or so and place somewhere online, maybe it might look a little nicer there then in a email, and place a - or * or something in front of each _requirement_/_point_ to make this more visible - Helgi > -------- > Quality is very important at PEAR.
