Re: [Struts Wiki] Update of DefinePita by James Mitchell
You know, I've seen a couple of Wiki updates today and in recent days past with regard to defining PITA, and some related things, and it has frankly reached a point where someone has to speak up, and I guess it's going to be me. We probably all know the people involved in these posts and know at least some of the history behind it all, on both sides. Am I the only one that thinks this is a pretty immature way for people who purport to be professionals to be dealing with one another? Forget for a moment who may or may not have valid points, regardless of that, is this the proper use for the Struts Wiki? It's essentially name-calling in the guise of a FAQ entry and comes across, to me at least, as petty and childish. Is this really the image anyone wants to project to the rest of the world? Do we really want to see the Wiki devolve into a convenient place for people to banter and bicker back and forth at each other in cleverly disguised ways? I could certainly go remove the pages myself, but I'm not going to do that. It isn't my place. I would hope that the authors would agree it serves no useful purpose and potentially does more harm than good. Can I get an Amen?!? :) -- Frank W.

Yes, these entries would fit better under the Incubator wiki, along with a few other terms and phrase like Thanks for Volunteering, Them that does the work make the decisions, Merit never expires, and Don't be evil. I'll get on it. -Ted. On 5/6/05, Frank W.
