I only mentioned my fork to support my ideas about improving trunk. I only started the fork because I was in a high-speed car accident, my brain was damaged, and I needed a project to prove my technical skills were fine.
You are aware of the fork because I mentioned it in the thread about handling extensions. I suggested an easy algorithm, and mentioned that it already worked in my version. The thread continued without a response to my comment. "We cannot waste resources in having endless discussions or having good ideas in a non ASF fork." But none of my ideas are "good". I am not part of the development effort because my ideas have been completely spurned. Every suggestion I have made about Lenya has been discarded by the other Committers. Most of the issues discussed on the dev list were fixed or avoided in my fork because I fixed the architecture. Attempting to pass that knowledge back to the 1.4 developers generated this complaint. I did not start the fork because my suggestions are disdained. I did not do it to hurt the project in any way. I needed to write code, and could use a better version of Lenya. I'm scratching my own itch for a few hours each week. My code and ideas are unwanted in trunk, so how does my private work hurt the project? I would enjoy adding a branch at ASF, but why do it? It would risk splitting the effort between the current 1.4 and a simpler, easier, more flexible version. The programmers enjoy working on the complex version. The users who would benefit from the easier version could not add value to it. The fork is probably better as my private project. solprovider --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
