I do not understand all this. It seems to me that something bad happened
for no reason.
Isn't it true that Chase does (or did) work for CDE? Judging from Jon's
response, the answer
is "yes". From his email it is clear that he does not want to give his
information to companies.
He is not the only person with this preference in the open source
community. On the contrary.
So why the answer from Peter is "I do not care" ? He may indeed not
care, but he also could
rephrase "sorry, I do not have enough time for this, please reconsider
about an account".
(I do not try/want to teach anyone, this is why I wrote "could" and not
"should").
Moreover, the CDE is not in the cold war era anymore. The "I do not
care" may sound
OK in the US but to other cultures it is a direct insult.
As it is reasonable to say that being in a mailing list you must be
polite, it is also reasonable
to say that the main people of the project must also be polite 3 times more.
I also experienced similar problems as Chase. I have some scripts that
add modern apps
to the CDE desktop but I do not know how to incorporate them to CDE. I
explained this to Jon
and he offered to help. He could also say "sorry, I do not have the
time, I can not help,
leave it for later" which would also be a good answer.
But if his answer was "I do not care" it would make me feel very bad for
no reason.
So, Peter, you have helped so much for CDE to be available again and we
thank you for this.
Please help on such issues. Do not do the work Chase asks for. But
please do care.
best,
Antonis.
PS I hope Chase will get back to developing for CDE and find a solution
to the privacy
issue. Maybe someone else can help. Maybe I can help if one explains me
what is needed to do.
I think I do have an account on sf since I have edited the CDE wiki many
times.

Alright, I won't argue, if that's the consensus, effective
immediately I am ceasing my contributions to CDE and unsubscribing
from this mailing list.
I was trying really hard to ignore this thread...
Chase, it is your choice not to register for an SF account. You are
perfectly in your rights to do that.
But I think it is unreasonable for you to expect others to be
responsible for the consequences of that choice. I figured you would
get that, the first time you made the request and no one responded.
I'd rather you not leave - I think your contributions were very
helpful, but again, it's your choice. You're welcome back at any time.

Well that would be a false statement. I'd love to see CDE packaged in
Debian as an option some day.

Jon is correct, you should do your own work. Your contributions are
in a public repository already, Sourceforge knows your name :-)
However, such name calling will not be tolerated. I have been here
about as long as Peter and Jon, I may be employee #3. So be
respectful, please.

Ah, no wonder why Jon is the co leader of this project, you are
very abrasive for no reason, especially towards someone who does
free work.
Thank you for your time,
