Maybe David is uneasy about expressing precisely his own feelings in English (French might help), but please have it clear that it is not at all a question of trust (or mistrust). It is simply a question of sustainability and what we favor above all is knowledge sharing (and you have already shown you played well this game). It might some times seem a bit slow or conservative but the project has been running this way for more than three years and still runs (I, for example, see David literate programming as a big plus). With respect to knowledge sharing, we try to document and share all what we know so that none of us could be a bottleneck (David, for example, could be hit by a bus or loose interest in the project or get married, have children, or whatever). ;-) It has a cost: time and speed, but we believe the benefits outweight these drawbacks. You would have had a meeting with us (and I hope it will happen one day or the other) you would have immediately understood it is not a question of trust: we welcome ANY contribution. Please understand it simply takes some time to be properly included (and this should go faster with habits -- we are opening new tracks with you). We all have years of professionnal experience in software developpment and we do not want to reproduce ways we have already seen at (paid) work. We do it the free software way: clean, open, peer reviewed, and, hopefully, sustainable (according to our current size and resources). Things would probably go faster if we had a larger (technical) community... Hope this explains, Frédéric If you want more details about what we are currenty doing (today, waiting for RAS to fix its mail servers), just ask. Most often, it takes less time to work on things than to document the work under way. _______________________________________________ Demexp-dev mailing list Demexp-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/demexp-dev
