-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 People, it became a bit difficult to participate in this conversation, and we're not going to fight each other, please.
Elijah's proposal doesn't find consensus now, but we can at least agree on some of the points. Can we focus on sorting them out, and later focus on the dissenting ones? I'd like to make an experiment. Come back to the original 11 points, and remove any point that brought contradictory argument. Then we can consider the common ground, and see clearly what we're really starting from. It would take me a couple of hours to review the thread and sort it out, and I'm ready to do that as soon as I can. In the meantime, can we refrain from getting angry at each other? Nobody has the RIGHT solution: the world is complex enough that more than one path will happen concurrently, and most of them will be wrong anyway. It's important to understand the issues associated with each path, and their relative advantages. In the end, we don't want to follow the Cult of The Best Software, but we want to provide free software tools that will become infrastructure. It has to be floating beyond each one's ego. If we can't do that, we're simply playing the game of divide and conquer, and will fail. There's a momentum now that we need to ride, not miss. == hk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJR8aHeAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9GSUP/1Wy1lwxGCWJqosrhTy1iFVu WV1BfcvCXXMwTJ9L8uw48c8CbLiX+8Rp4dTBI1ZRwpZ/NR38nyllpsNm0T3FqjnM Kk2EgRWxQj3WTOJYAHGYqpxXoukKjoYA1Wj5ZcKNA04yLnZIP6XgaAQ2Bq7E4ozj GiXXCwgHMVLDMVXFXkBFLjpx7vyOFPVu1jcDAea0jGnkd2Y9/SEs8afgG6hTb98R u3onY2uy82OyJzuGFg3z4fi7WB9m5rYmoO1XSdpx/Jws+l++bfrRVnPtGC6f1TwS hTvsdfyEDVyGzbi7K+UBGOTLVmeAvbm6HqMP8m4DAWLYifUnuO0Rt0gaa3vzuBZ1 j8pVYW5uRniJWCVeLYmJbi0C/A6NTu3S2QlPpCXwOpF73xYRVEIJKheGbRSh6bmO ocbWDoiix5Yhqck6IegHKAv9+2jO18ih4OkNgS4lbOUyY9IVxef/zjlh3aCbhiEG UyFTUJ4+l1en1v84ZixNR75Rqx+tPJI7JG13KTuAqGCKB0ViAZzdZwHwpqym6so9 g4hCkjZW9/KdqJbgQW3I+SZUwntip4rQl10Xtn1bXiKrfVFObdxrJnl38hWhvjyj /qia0ByDG829K75NrPyOoeLY+Vf1YWDJSkC7v1VacIT8W/RafmxJCo9nFn7zdWPM l7hpCGrINniWiJHzaSqg =iEn1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
