Hi Ty, Since I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, I have a few questions:
1. "... push changes to the repo..."? -> It would help giving a bit context instead of talking about "the repo". Since this is the openjfx-dev list, chances are high you're talking about the JavaFX repository at https://github.com/openjdk/jfx. In that case, please read the README and CONTRIBUTING files there for advice on how to propose/make changes (note that this will probably take longer than 1 minute, as we have strong quality checks in place). If you talk about a different "repo", please follow the explicit or implicit rules on that repo(sitory). For example, if you talk about https://github.com/openjfx/openjfx-docs , please create an issue and file a PR, and work with the community to get it accepted. (note that in this case, this should not be discussed on the openjfx-dev list (note the *dev*)). 2. You refer to informal or formal talks you had, but it is totally unclear to me who you talked to about what. Frankly, we spent lots of time moving all code and as much as possible the documentation to github, so we can easily track discussions. (for JavaFX bugs, we use JBS, so that can be discussed there) If someone said "it’s the way we’ve always done it”" please refer to the issue where your request has been made and subsequently rejected, so I can have a look at the context, 3. Can you write a few words about what the word "Community" means to you? Many people in the JavaFX Ecosystem spent tons of spare time in making the JavaFX "Community" a friendly place. I'm interested in your opinion about that word. To give a few options, does it mean A: I insult people and companies, use words like "smoking shrooms" and "stubborn" and I expect everything I think about to be fixed magically (since I suppose the volunteers have no life apart from doing what I want them to do) B: I friendly discuss issues and opportunities with fellow community members, where I respect other opinions, keep discussions polite and technical. C: somewhere between A and B? - Johan On Sat, Dec 28, 2019 at 12:11 AM Ty Young <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 12/27/19 4:40 PM, John-Val Rose wrote: > > Ty, > > > > If it’s so easy to fix then why don’t you just fix it? > > > I don't exactly have the ability to directly push changes to the repo... > > > > > > John-Val > > > >> On 28 Dec 2019, at 09:14, Ty Young <[email protected]> wrote: > >> > >> > >>> On 12/27/19 4:19 AM, Johan Vos wrote: > >>> Hi David, > >>> > >>> What tutorial are you talking about?
