Almost forgot:
I remember myself struggling badly on the beginning so I decided that my
main aim here (as Cocoon committer) will be making it easier to start
with Cocoon for newcomers. I was going to propose many small
improvements (at least I see them as improvements) but now I have some
doubts if I will have enough energy to struggle like with this one.
Don't let me (or anyone else) scare you. I wade through a high volume
of e-mail from a lot of lists and may sometimes have to have things
explained to me more than once .
A little reminiscing:
One of my 1st posts to the Dev list was to respond in favor of a
change that someone else was proposing and to explain a use case we
had for the proposed change. It was immediately met by a barrage of
reasons as to why it shouldn't be implemented by a particular long
time member (to the point of me being told that he would no longer
respond to my arguments because I clearly had no idea what I was
proposing). Two years later or so, the same member ended up needing
the same change and wrote and committed it himself. Such is life in
open source development; there are a lot of very different back
grounds and what is clear to one person often only becomes clear to
another over a long period of time...
I'm aware of that; my statements you responded to were little emotional
as I really was feeling resigned and powerless. I'm young and have to
learn a lot so please be patient.
