that's right. but sometimes people gain a better position to do things
and avoid including other "doers" treathening their "power". it can
happen in projects growing succesful, that get funding (yes, money can
harm a project) and don't have an "open organization" protocol (i'm
loosely referring to http://www.open-organizations.org) for these
kinds of negotiations.

i agree that is fine, plus he seems to invest good care in documenting
students contributions.

still, myself being a person working in education, i think the problem
is more structural: i'd rather question why students in a school
should be contributing to a professor's project, rather than starting
one on their own? they could learn how to work in a more horizontal
and creative way, even if the project will be less interesting in the
eyes of the director, who should be there to give suggestions and help
on students projects, not the contrary.
