What is this negative intent? I see people concerned about the maintenance of what has become an important community resource. Like most hackers, they are not satisfied by processes that are not transparent. Whether you mean it or not, that is the impression you are giving. This isn't a personal attack, Jeff. Just normal criticism of the maintainer of a high-profile module. So why do you think that Federico and others "want negativity more than they want resolution" when they are offering to help out directly? It seems to me an awful lot like a contributor trying hard to get his patch accepted by a maintainer who happens to be pretty busy. That being said, I'm glad to hear that you are making progress on this front, and look forward to hearing more details when you have a chance. As someone who over-extends on a regular basis, I'm not particularly bothered by delays. :-) Sandy _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
