I think it is odd that you want to recruit new developers with these negative responses. Getting new talented people to help with a project might take a bit of sugar to get things moving.
Comments like this, and others which you are prone to, will only make it harder to find talented individuals who are willing to spend their free time to help JBoss and thus help JBoss Group, which ultimately helps you. Seriously, a more supportive and friendly environment would do wonders for JBoss. That does not mean that some folks don't deserve a little smack around now and then, but that should be the exception and not the policy. We are asking for help, but when help shows up we give them a big slap and tell them to go figure it out themselves. How does that help anything? Sure for the select few it might encourage them to prove themselves by digging into the code and sorting out the madness, but as you have mentioned before we don't need people proving their worth, we need good people who can produce quality code. Think about it. Think how a small change to our PR could dramatically help JBoss... or keep telling folks to SMD. --jason > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:jboss- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of marc fleury > Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 5:13 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [JBoss-dev] Recruiting new developers > > > sites, but know little about JBoss.
