Paul, Nowhere did I market mc^2 as bringing "exciting new stuff". If you'd checked out mc^2 site, you'd have found a page listing reasons to have scripting support. You'd have discovered that one of my major motives was to help fix this heartbreaking situation of users whose patches get "ignored". I mention there the frustration and embitterment they feel. It was even in my announcement message here on this mailing list. Read it again. Nowhere do I use the words "features" or "new" or "exciting" or "shiny". The words I *do* use there are "to put an end to this waste of human resources". Read mc^2 frontpage again. The one out of which you plucked one sentence. Does it have "exciting" or "new" or "features" or "shiny" on it? No, it hasn't. It talks about making MC's code leaner, and fixing bugs. What's ironic, Paul, is that if you'd bothered to check out mc^2 you'd have seen that it concurs with your own agenda. It's just that while you're just preaching (or bickering, should I say), I'm actually doing. Furthermore, If you ever bother to read the documents there, or my few messages here, you'll see that I make it a principle to hand over all policy decisions to the community/maintainers. I market mc^2 only as "food for thought", and I mention directions in which the community, not me, may choose to go. I also state (the obvious) that the community is free to deem my work garbage. I submit myself to their will because I know it's the only way to go forward in order to achieve the goal, and the goal is not "shiny exciting new features" but keeping MC alive and solving the heartaches of the contributors and users. Now, don't bother to compose a reply, Paul. I think you'll agree with me that we probably won't manage a very constructive discussion here. I'll welcome any private email from you if you wish to, though. _______________________________________________ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
