First of all Happy New Year to everyone! .... and then a bit of a philosophical email - something related to previous post by Rainer and something that bothered me for the last couple of months.
Before the merge, I was spending a lot of my spare time contributing to WW and on the XWork side along with Rainer, Jason, and occasionally a couple of more guys. The direction was clear for everybody and everybody knew where we are heading to. During the merge and afterwards, I got very confused... I've seen lots of emails in the form: "hey I've thought about this incredible idea, how does it sound?... oh by the way I have already implemented it... (and as a side note it changes everything you knew about the underlying pieces)". At this point I have stepped back a bit and I have started to just watch because I HAD NO IDEA where we want to go - and not the generic answers. There are lots of discussions about alphas, betas, GAs, etc releases but I haven't seen a single one that would qualify itself to be promoted to final users. Now I see Rainer asking for help and I tend to see the reasons why. And as always I would be happy to help, but I frankly would like to see what the intentions are. Because, once again, I would like to understand why I would put my efforts behind it - and hopefully not just to create a couple of alphas, betas, etc. BR, ./alex -- .w( the_mindstorm )p. :: OSS Evangelist :: --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
