  I created a wmaker repository in github,
 
  https://github.com/crmafra/wmaker
 
  I will keep both the old repo.or.cz and the new github updated.
 
 
  Thanks,
 
  I am testing it. I sent some patches.
 
  Please send the patches to the mailing list.
 
  But, If I sent the patches to the mail list, nothing changes.
 
  What do you mean by nothing changes? 
 
  Nothing. My english is too bad, but you cannot understand the difference
  between you and we. Your project, our project.
  
  Again, wmaker is not my project.
  
  I guess my agreed-upon status is the maintainer of wmaker, just like
  you are the maintainer of the wmaker package in the Debian repository.
  
  Is the wmaker debian package _your_ project? Or do you consider yourself
  doing a service to others by being the maintainer of that code in the
  best possible way as to please the majority of Debian users?
  
  The maintainer status is not for life though. If people feel that
  I'm not capable for maintaining wmaker (for whatever reason) then we
  can start to discuss who the next maintainer should be and I get out.
  
  https://github.com/thekix/wmaker
 
  I will upload my work there. If you think my code is ok for *your*
  project, include it.
  
  But couldn't you in addition to the github request also send the patch
  to the mailing list too?
  
  This is what everybody (including you) is doing for the last 5 years and
  it's working fine.
  
  With this move I think you are actively trying to create problems in the
  established process of patch submission.
 
 No. Sorry, but no. If you create a github repo and send a mail to the
 list pointing it (http://lists.windowmaker.org/dev/msg05993.html):
 

[snip]

 I thought that I can send the patches in the github repo. 

I understand what you thought and I tried to explain why you misunderstood it.

 I don't want disturb you.

You are just rioting in the mailing list for no reason and creating 
disharmony between us, also for no good reason.

I tried to explain why the patches must be submitted to the mailing
list like everybody is doing for the last 5 years here in wmaker-dev.

It makes review easier and more people see the patches since they
don't have to click in some links to open a web browser to see your
patches.

I didn't invent this procedure, this is the de facto standard submission
process among open source projects. This is how wmaker development was
always done. And now, out of the blue, you just don't want to send
the patches to the mailing list anymore.

_You_ are not complying with the established rules and you have already
shown that you are not willing to cooperate and you are actively trying
to create confusion in the wmaker-dev list in the past weeks.

Just send the patches to the mailing list. Is that asking too much
in a open source project, really?

I am not creating confusion in the list. I am trying to change things.
But, you don't agree with the changes.

Why you don't reply other mails? Why you don't reply Christian? Why
you don't reply Haroldo, or Paul?

Is better say Rodolfo is bad, Rodolfo is rioting the mailing list
and don't enter in the real questions.

wmaker is no different than many other projects out there, and the process
is the same. Patches go to the mailing list for discussions.

Are you sure you want to question this process? 

Let me tell you again: _I_ didn't create the concept of discussing
patches in a mailing list! I'm just following it because I agree that
this is a good way to develop open source software.

C'mon Rodolfo. I'm not asking too much, I just want to see the patches
in the mailing list (because of reasons I already wrote about).

Yes, the main thing of a mailinglist is discussion and in a discussion
you should try to understand your college even if you disagree to others.
Discussion is a way to find compromises, don't you think so ?


 
 Are you sure you want to question this process? 
If our forefathers did never start to 'question processes' we would
still try to make fire and we would not sit here and develop software.

Things change, new things came along, just as github and if we are not
able to check or challenge our processes to easy our work, then we are
just stupid. But we are not stupid so we always try to improve our
processes, don't you.

 
 Let me tell you again: _I_ didn't create the concept of discussing

Is there a way that github merge request get automatically posted to the
list ? If so, then what is the problem then ?


 
 C'mon Rodolfo. I'm not asking too much, I just want to see the patches

None wants to stop discussing patches on the list.
_You_ started 'github'. Are you now able and ready to make use of _all_
advantages that github is offering ?
Let us find a way which is good enough for all, don't you think so ?

Kind Regards

That would work just fine, yes.

I don't agree that moving patch discussion out of the mailing list is
an advantage. I created the github in order to _increase_ the options,
not to reduce them.

I don't mind sending patches via github if people like that too. What
I'm against here is to actively avoid sending patches to the mailing
list because of github. That does not help.

OK, lets find out if that is possible.

AFAIK it was never a point to move patch discussion out of the mailing
list. Discussion about patches should stay in mailing list.

Yes, and this is what we all appreciate, don't we ?
And one big advantage is, on github you can see what others are doing
cause you can look into their branches.

 I'm against here is to actively avoid sending patches to the mailing
 list because of github. That does not help.
So we need to find out how we can mail info about 'merge requests' to
the mailing list so that this 'merge request' or 'patch' can be discussed.
Then all would be happy again or am I wrong here ?

And if the discussed patch is OK for acceptance you just need to accept
the merge request on github. I think this is an ease for your work, too,
isn't it ?

Rodolfo, for what it's worth, i don't see why Carlos should have to
reply to my input at all. There is no need for him to argue against my
input or to even defend his position. I stated my point(s) and provided
some food for thought. That's all and enough from my point of view.

Whether this will be taken into account or not is not my concern. I was
just freely providing my point of view as feedback from one member of
the old user base. It was definitely not my intention to impose my
position whatsoever.

To my understanding, it is not me who is managing this project, but as a
very dedicated user of it's outcome i am indebted to provide at least
some feedback from my point of view as one of the intended user base.

If this is eventually useful or just useless is not to be decided by me.

Now for something completely different:

I must say that i feel a bit sorry to see these frictions come up on the
list. While i believe to understand both Rodolfo and Carlos at the same
time, i think there is no need to make a big fuss out of this.

Maybe it is already about time to finally arrange some kind of get
together or small conference for all involved and interested parties, in
order to actually meet and know each other in person?

According to my own experience working within virtual teams consisting
of members located on different geographical locations and continents
during my daily work duties, this can tremenduously help to forge a
tighter understanding and feeling for each other and between all people
involved in a common project. In the end we are all human beings with a
common interest, and it helps to get a better feeling for that.

Regards,
Paul
