I'm not sure I understand this complaint. Are you suggesting that we should just accept the pain (as developers) in order to provide the best experience later? By fear and loathing I don't think we meant something that would be confined to just developers and administrators. Trust me, our pain would be your pain too. > In this case we told the people "sorry, that's impossible" because any > proprietary tool is /tabu/. I think you are trying to imply we are limited thinkers here. Perhaps, but we are not shutting you down just for violating a cultural norm against the sacred god Oh-Ess-Ess. Discussions about using closed source tools are not taboo. Not at all, I think we should continue to review decisions about tools. I myself have raised questions about (for instance) our decision to never use Flash, even if we use a 100% free toolchain. -- Neil Kandalgaonkar |) <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
