People shouldn't need permission to mess around with ChucK or even need permission to request something be merged back into the master branch (this is assuming people don't go crazy and swamp Spencer with pull requests).

I see that as a strong advantage as the community can experiment, leaving to<br>
the main branch maintainers the possibility to merge interesting propositions<br>
in a few simple commands.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>I agree.
