Geir,
sorry for me starting to lose my patience here, but this is the thing:
Between November '06 and now I tried to make the new velocity project
site and the engine docs to be an as good user experience as can be.
I put a lot of work in this using maven. There have been a number of
things sprouted from here that you can review under site/tools. I also
found enough bugs in maven and its components to fill a small
folder. That is how open source works. Especially open source that
tries to be somewhat on the "Leading wave".
Up until now, all you did was saying "I don't like this". "I'm
concerned about this". "I'd argue that we do it differently".
I don't recall. I'm usually not that prescient.
The thing is: That is not helping. Actually, it is frustrating in a
big way.
I'd like you to spent some time to take a look at what is there, not
what you would like to have (and then seem to expect to appear
automagically).
I didn't ask you to change anything, IIRC.
If you find things missing, being less than ideal, I'd
encourage you to either
a) fix it
b) open issues for it
Please review wheter doing neither a) nor b) but just leaning back and
saying "I'd argue that this should not be our site until it is fixed"
is really a constructive and encouraging way to work in a (regrettably
small) developer community.
Henning - what you are saying is that you broke it and you want me to
fix it? I'm not sure I like that. I tend to believe that except
when people agree to do the contrary, it's a good idea to ensure that
any works-in-progress remain uncommitted, or in a branch or
whiteboard, to ensure that there's a working configuration available
to anyone to work with.
I haven't commented on the site, the quality of it or anything like
that. I simply noted surprise that we have a site that only you can
build, and noted that maybe that shouldn't actually be the official
project site until that's fixed.
geir
Best regards
Henning
