Heh, my main contribution was in encouraging some of the more red blooded people on the NZOSS list to engage constructively with the SSC rather than being antagonistic from the start. I didn't have much to do with the actual revision process itself. Nice to see that the consultative approach has paid off though, and I think our (the OSS community) relationship with the SSC has greatly benefited from the whole process.

Agreed. Had brief a look at the latest SSC release, and while I feel its s bit wordy, the direction seems much more constructive.
