And just to be sure, peter and I have no discussions offlist anymore, but we have a history which I referred to. I should have been clear in my statement. No, however small decisions shall be made offlist ! we are ONE community. that being said, if I have a development problem I sometimes call peter on skype, simply because its faster....but you can see that eg. code writing standards go through the list. Sorry I referenced the history without writing it clearly, but very important if you disagree, then we discuss in here until we have consensus, history do NOT overwrite this list. rgds jan i > > - Dennis > > -- replying below to -- > From: jan i [mailto:[email protected] <javascript:;>] > Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 10:13 > To: [email protected] <javascript:;> > Subject: Re: MiniZIp/tidy-html Dependency (was RE: External libraries on > windows) > > On 28 December 2014 at 19:03, Dennis E.
