It makes sense to create documentation about how to become an apache
lenya committer, like:
http://forrest.apache.org/committed.html
or http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/Becoming_A_Nutch_Developer

...but I reckon you prefer giving good advice and asking rhetoric
questions instead to contribute such documentation or are you willing to
spent some time on such documentation? If not, I reckon you are more
focused on spreading FUD then actually helping the Lenya community, or?

Isn't it so much easier to criticize people, then actually doing some
work? Don't you think that all the prior vote threads in the archive
that contain hints what we are looking for in a committer aren't enough?
Do you think people are not intelligent enough to look up the mailing
list archive?

The reason why I have chosen not to meet *YOUR* demand is quite simple,
I want that more people review the mailing list and the bugzilla
themselves and starting to think what and who is good for this
community. 

Don't you think more people should help identifying potential committer?

lol. 

Yeah and in the end that is the only thing that count, your own opinion,
isn't it? Three different PMC members have already pointed out that we
consider them rude, but I do not see that you are willing to listen to
this people. We are all equal here, but you are more equal then the
rest, aren't you?

I doubt that, since we (different people) are pointing out (for a while
now) that your way of asking question is quite offending, but you make
no intentions to enhance it, do you not care about what other say?

1) I am tiered that you spread FUD about me and take words out of my
mouth.

On 2007-04-27 23:02:22 I wrote:
"...I am ATM evaluating different CMS for my current client and one of
them is Alfresco. ..."

Meaning I never stated anything about what I consider or not. More I
clearly stated that I act on MY CLIENT assignment. 

Using this sentence to state I am considering Alfresco, is FUD! 

The Spanish government (which is my client) is evaluating around 10
different CMS (like Plone, Alfresco, Liferay, Daisy, Magnolia, ...). The
evaluation is not meet to be published on a public mailing list and is
very specific for different public organizations here in Spain.

2) I just got twins and my time is very limited. Your statement implies
that I do not answer if my time permits, again FUD. If you have a look
in our changes listed on the website you will find that I am one of few
that each month is committing to the project (unless like you!). I
prefer doing some work then feeding your FUD. Do you think that I do not
spent enough time on lenya? Are you not aware that I am as well active
on other Apache projects?

3) Comparing your actions with mine regarding the involvement of
different CMS development is comparing apples with oranges, don't you
think?

lol

Funny, you normally do not pay much attention to our guidelines or stuff
we asked you million times before, why didn't you change the subject
line to prevent the odd situation in the voting thread? I want to point
out that you REFUSED to review our guidelines when I made the guidelines
proposal, haven't you? How can you follow guidelines that you refused to
read?

No, regarding the above paragraph you do not want to spend more time on
this discussions, so what are you doing? Your words does not compute
with your actions further you are contradict yourself from one mail to
the other!

One commit in the last 6 month is saying something else, isn't it?. I
agree with Jörn, your actions look like a little kid that lost its
favorite toy and now is producing disturbance with the other kids out of
defiance.

So why aren't you the leading example? Seems you are just waiting that
this projects will fail, to be able to say "I told you so", aren't you?

Again see above 1) I am tiered that you spread FUD about me and take
words out of my mouth.

I explicitly state that being around is not a criteria! YOU said this!

So why you pervert my word saying:

Are you incredible ignorant or high on something or just want to piss
people off? 

DO NOT put words in my mouth and do not spread FUD!

salu2

P.S.: I did not wanted to get involved in such discussion anymore,
because I have no time ATM at all and very tiered of this ego centric
way of discussions. 

P.P.S.: If I do not give an answer for a while it may be that I need to
change dippers, feed the babies, work in my profession or sleep.
