I never said he is not doing incredible job. But in the case of
conflict/problem he should not be a judge in his own case or without cool
down period. I was just banned without any information what happened or
without warning. Because of my stupid human emotions I started many stupid
topics.

Such acting is harmful to the project (including my acting). I was working
many months to fix management operators problem. This was discussed
directly with you, Sven and Michael Van Canneyt. Michael started
incomprehensible FUD about this work in public mailing list.

Without "code of conduct" such situation could happen again and again with
other developers. I always follow the rules. But I can not read someone
minds to know that I could be banned because I have other Open Source
project...

I was working on many things considered as controversial so I was
discussing often, but in the final - compromise was always possible with
gain for the project. The main problem was TOTAL LACK of any communication.
I was never warned that something is wrong and how I can improve
cooperation.

I don't know why I don't got any message : Maciej - stop, we don't want
such features.

Then my focus could be different - finally there is many other bugs,
features which could be my focus.

The most curious thing is that I was never warned about that I should close
down/stop NewPascal project (which was mentioned as one of reason of
postponing my privileges).

I don't see how using atomic/most draconian option on the start can help
(without any communication).

The same happens with foundation now - lack of info.

This would be good. I think that clear rules are always fine. Also the very
important is to not concentrate all power in the hand of one person without
any control (for example in much smaller project like NewPascal I don't
have exclusive control). Some time ago I was involved in many parts of work
in FPC compiler (generics.collections, management operators other fixes for
compiler and new features in progress) but in the case of personal
conflict, project has no instance of appeal or regulations or any code of
conduct. So instead of coding I need to waste time to shows what happened.
Sadly...

It looks like David's fight with Goliath. Anyway the truth is important.

All is fine when someone has the same opinion like Michael Van Canneyt. The
style of communication with Michael is visible in this thread, when he know
he is not right he is just ignoring messages, but he is first to throw the
rock. He is using power - not arguments. No one can do anything because he
has full control on all infrastructure.

Admin, lead of project, programmer and foundation ruler in one person? Too
much power always corrupts.

http://lists.freepascal.org/pipermail/fpc-devel/2018-May/038897.html

In general the situation is very simple. You have started FUD and biased
talk about my work on "management operators" - every detail of my work was
fully explained before merge/commits and fully consulted with other persons
in team. Even weak point of "management operators" was exposed by me in
public mailing list. TWICE : before "management operators" changes were
merged:

http://lists.freepascal.org/fpc-devel/2016-December/037508.html
(without any response)

and after commits for "management operators":
http://lists.freepascal.org/pipermail/fpc-devel/2018-April/038869.html

Even more: patch for problems was discussed also in core, you are also one
who was involved in conversation (sadly I can't provide link to source
because core mailing list is private) where you were happy about my
fixes/work (!sic).

My only fault: probably my first reaction on your FUD and biased talk was
overreacted. I should be more patient.

Anyway: Merry Christmas!

Hello Edivando,

I am the maintainer of NewPascal and the only what I have to say in this
topic is:

probably with the current and real owner of FPC foundation (Michael Van
Canneyt) cooperation between NewPascal and FPC/FPC foundation is rather not
possible (even if I would like to), because Michael personally decide to
eliminate me from FPC development (AFAIK Michael is also administrator and
owner of all FPC infrastructure).

There is lack of any "code of conduct", current FPC should be considered as
"uncivilized" project where any of developer/contributor can be eliminated
via personal taste of admin in one second.

As far as I understand even if "code of conduct" will be someday created my
person/case is outside any "amnesty" because my case is considered as
"lesson of maintaining of the project".

Huh? What is wrong with you? Where you have historical misinformation? It

The tool may be merged into current tool "Edit context help" (Ctrl + Shift
+ F1). "Edit context help" somehow has similar functionality for exploring
"how IDE is constructed". We can add "Application explorer" to "Help" menu
to invoke "Edit context help" with new functionalities.

Thanks for nice feedback and patch. The part of patch for showing forms on
GTK2 was usable, but part for border style was incorrect (hopefully I fixed
this problem together with BorderIcons in r55579).

For default event please create new bug report (and for new bugs - will be
easier to manage).

Problem with a TMainMenu fixed in r55582.

Please test and close #32194 if designed form is visible for GTK2. For
other problems please create related bug reports :)
