It's not that the frustration wouldn't be understood, it's that creating negative atmosphere in public is not productive in any way, just the opposite. It does zero good for fixing the bug or for the community. So, why complain then? It's not about silencing the (most) frustrated people, I'm frustrated too but I know it does not encourage positive co-operation on fixing problems to complain aloud about everything. So please consider why some people have crafted posts trying to ensure Openmoko people that "most people appreciate the work being done" etc., even though they themselves would have been hit badly by the problem too. I don't think it helps either to make sure one's rights are listened to - I think one reason people might complain is that they simply want to create noise so that Openmoko knows it's important. Please, show a little more respect and trust for them - they will do anything they can anyway (why wouldn't they?). And even if there's time for complaining and demanding, possibly in private, the time is not now since the issue and all possible solutions are not known. So, if it's not productive (or positive), please try to restrain yourself from posting (there have been enough complains already). -Timo _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
