Nobody doubts of your skills. Please, do the same with us: whatever
concern you have with Moin can be reflected on almost every other
environ, on a personal taste, maybe on the UI style, maybe on the
language its written, maybe on how its written, the critical issues,
etc.

But as said, that's still not the point: no matter how beautiful is
the navigation bar, how easy is to give permissions, how simple is
tweaking the UI, how powerful the connection with roundup can be: as a
matter of fact, no one of those facilities is going to make a better
"Theory of Patches".

Exposing our own personality thru the email medium may be very hard at
times, due to its tiny bandwidth. Please keep that in mind and be
kind.
