And this is exactly the kind of comment and attitude that pushes people away from being Wine developers. This was a thread that asked the question: What would get more developers interested in Wine? A number of people said: "The code is too hard to read because it's completely unmovitated and uncommented." Dismissing their input because they've never contributed code is exactly the wrong approach; if we're talking about getting new developers, then their impressions are particularly valuable. With that said, and all joking aside, I have never seen Alexandre reject a patch with comments or strip a single comment out. To get material comments in the code would require the imposition of a kind of standard that is far beyond anything we could reasonably expect. Heck, we can't even standardize indenting or do away with those abominable K&R style brack placements <g>. I just hope that the bulk of the anti comment pogrom is mostly posturing and jest (which is what I suspect), and that folks do try to comment tricky and inobvious bits. Cheers, Jeremy
