Well, yeah, maybe he's right, but don't forget something, this is because
of two reasons :
1 - when we assign something to someone, it's because we can't do it
ourself because we don't have time.. and if that other person took one
week to do it, it's because he doesn't have time... in our case, we can
assign things to someone and someone else can do them if the other person
takes too much time to do it, and we say "he's it's done"
2 - we are SOOOO not organized.... if we decided to go more organized and
everyone becomes 'serious' we would work so much better.. I just know that
people don't want to become serious because it's a 'fun project'...
Also, the real reason he says that, it's just because he needed excuses,
that guy is the stupidest guy I've ever 'not met', really, he's
incredible, he's such a selfish little brat.. I've been looking and
discussing about this guy a little a few months ago..
that guy was put webcam support in Mercury and gave NO credits to Ole
Andre.. I think Ole asked for at least credits, but he never got them,
Danny (Mecury's author), said "I'm sorry but I can't because the 'about'
window is too bloated already"... please, do install MErcury and look at
his "bloated" about window... do you really think there is no place for a
"Thanks to Ole" ???
this guy is full crap.. because not only he answered Ole like that, but he
also says that HE did the webcam support.. never mentioning Ole.. and
that's what you will see in forums, etc... some things like "yeah, I got
webcam working, it was difficult, I worked a lot on this... enjoy"..
Also, some people are monitoring Mercury and they say that it's just
incredible how EVERY new feature in amsn's CVS that looks interesting ALSO
gets into Mercury's latest version in less than a week... that guy is a
copy cat.. none of his features are his own ideas... no credits, no thank
you, no nothing..
and what really made me angry against this guy is that he's always asking
"how did you do this, or that".. because he wants his product to be the
"best"... and once, I needed smething, I contacted him and asked him a
question (about Ink support), I just asked "how did you get ink support to
work, do you use the M$ library or were you able to reverse-engineer the
Ink format.. can I get the source code for the ink format if you have it
or can you help me by giving me the specs of the format".. and if I
remember correctly his only answer was "mercury is a closed-source
project, I just can't help"... damn, how is that for someone taking the
code from everyone else...
and by the way... within the week we added reflector support, he also
added it, and I can assure you that from what I heard, this guy has
ABSOLUTELY NO SKILLS for reverse-engineering the code for it.. and I spent
so much time on this, I know how difficult it was.. he just copy-pasted
the code I did...
again, no credits for my own work...
I bet he's releasing mercury but he's using amsn for his own needs.. it
allows him to see the changes... and the only way I can think of for him
to add reflector support so fast was probably to follow the amsn-devel (he
probably is subscribed) in order to get the latest changes as fast as
possible...
so if he reads me... FUCK YOU :)
I just love that word :D
that's about it... now you may understand more easily his excuses.. he
wants to be the 'only developper' on the project because he wants to be
the only one praised... 'oh danny, mercury is so wonderfull, you did it
all by yourself, bravo!!!" this is what he wants to hear...
got to go.. sorry for not being able to say bad things about him on a
longer email :D :p lol

I just read this:
"the releasing it to a developer team has been one of my ideas at
first, but the downside of that is that it will slow me down, if I
want to rewrite the entire filetransfer handling, I would have to
check with everyone to see if they are ok with it, I would have to
sync every time I want to make a change to make sure the code doesn't
get out of sync, if we as a team assign a task to someone that could
be done in an hour and he waits a week to do it, the next beta release
would take it's time
in my reasoning about the dev team, I've looked a lot at aMSN, it's
been almost a year since 0.94, and they have an entire team...
an example for this: a jabber client named pandion has had problems
with a person stealing the code and making a client for himself (I'm
not sure I got this story 100% correct, if not, ignore this
tongue.gif)"
He's right after all. :P
