Also, GLEP 39 uses the term ("a project is a group of developers", |
| 11 |
"council members represent all developers"). Since it was incepted by |
| 12 |
an all-developers vote, it would presumably require an all-developers |
| 13 |
vote again for such a change. |

I would suggest keeping the established terminology there. Developers |
| 16 |
have taken a variant of the quizzes. They can join projects and vote |
| 17 |
for the council. Please don't create confusion by inventing new terms |
| 18 |
like "contributor". |
