As I said many times in past, the problem is not discussion: the problem
is unfinished discussions. Taking part of a discussion and arguing one
committer proposal have to be taken with much more responsibility. I
really don't like when people say I don't like this, this should be done
so and so and then never reply to techcnical questions made after that
sentence. This is a style that blocks development at all.
I am under the very strong impression that sometimes people are still
arguing, repeating, discussing when they instead at the same time
already should have agreed in consent.
And _that_ is a problem with the discussion itself.
There is a lot on what is going on in Joachim's website and his svn
repository: now that Joachim is a James Committer he can commit it to
trunk and keep up with development directly on our repository. This way
we can collaborate much better on the evolution of IMAP.
Doing it here is the _only_ way we can collaborate on the evolution of IMAP.
And thats all what I want. That is why I am asking questions.
You know, IMAP was the first thing I wanted to contribute when I
discovered there where things I wanted to do first. I am really glad
Joachim tackled IMAP meanwhile and is doing the major work, so I don't
have to do it. :-)
