I was just thinking what a disaster Rockbox would be with the Rockbox Player if it were. People want every single recording device and port available on a flash drive player.

not nesaccarily a bad thing... there are projects out there with the expressed intention of doing just that!

So, while on this topic then. Can you name any decently successful open source projects that try to be truly democratic?

How about Wikipedia? Linux?
I think they both *try* to be democratic.
Bagder:
Linux as in the kernel? It is way less democratic than Rockbox I'd say. In fact, in Rockbox there's no driving dictator as in many other projects so basically all committers have the same level of "rights". In Linux there's a very clear and explicit hierarchy that certainly is not democratic (either).
I can't speak of the wikipedia project as I know nothing about it. The wikipedia web site certainly tries to be democratic to some extent, but the masters override that at will which makes it not democratic.
