For example, these changes on the trunk are a little alarming. Who is the collectives chapter chair -- is it Torsten? It is not marked on the web page.

removed superfluous paragraph after review from Yutaka Ishikawa and Hidejuki Jitsumoto ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes "htor" is me.
Whoa -- removed a whole paragraph? Wasn't this text voted on (multiple times)? Maybe removing that specific text is ok, but that log message gives me a little pause, for example... I only applied changes that have no impact on semantics whatsoever and are not ambiguous at all and would thus not raise a discussion. Removing a paragraph might sound scary but it was an early copy&paste error. Just check diff and the chapter and you'll see. I apologize for the scary and non-saying commit message :-).
As this was a clear wording error (duplicated paragraph due to copy&paste error), I assume that falls under my editorial freedom. I am communicating all such changes to all members of the chapter committee. This means we have control within the committee. I can broadcast every change to the whole forum if you want (which might delay the process).
Additionally, there were frontmatter changes yesterday on the trunk last night that were made after the branch. Do they need to come over to the branch? I think the respective committee (Frontmatter & Introduction) will review those changes.
Thanks for pointing this out Jeff!
