Howdy, Tim:
What you're saying works for me. I'm sorry if what
your seeing from RT appears as unresponsiveness to
issues like publication of bugs, but these issues are a
matter of policy which myself and the other developers
don't really have anything to do with. We're the ones
always yakking on the list but our sphere of influence
is really just in matters directly related to the
production of code (which unfortunately will contain an
occasional bug (-:)
Whether the approach you and Ted are suggesting is best
is not for me to say. But if there is popular consent
that we're picking the wrong route in some of our
practices.. well...
What the community says is often going to have a
greater influence than what the developers say. You
are all doing _us_ a favor by telling us when you think
we're goofing it. So, if you folks see us missing the
boat, keep letting us know (please: in a nice,
reasonable, and non flaming way). Someone's always
bound to answer a ringing phone, so to speak.
I don't know that that's a satisfactory answer, but
that's just more or less my frank opinion.
Surrender? We have not yet begun to fight!
