They update some broken docu and they help me to save RAM. Two statements: 1. "To make it utmost hard for you: Show that you can work WITH Manu, not against him." (Johannes Stezenbach). 2. Literally: "There are developpers that have a certain kind of driver knowledge but are lacking the human skills. Those are the WORST." (Linus Torvalds). I am still hopeful for things getting better, that's why I won't add the name of the person I have in mind concerning citation number 2. But I do not state anything wrong saying that I never had any problems on the communication layer when linuxtv.org was but in german hands (Michael Hunold and others). Regards Uwe P. S.: My two patches need a bit of work - I know! But investing at least 5 minutes of time for that is far more progressive, constructive, and helpful for the whole community than any kind of flamewar out of whatever reason has ever been! Stubbornness and primadonna behaviour, or at least ignoring or sitting out things do not help anyone, bring nothing forward, waste the atmosphere that could be a lot more better if there was some reflection about those communication schemes settled down in at least one person. -- "Feel free" - 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...
