I am glad you did

only started the fork because I was in a high-speed car accident, my

were fine.
hope it proved that you are alright again
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.
well, that doesn't mean nevessarily people aren't interested. For
instance in my case
I am just too occupied with my own stuff and I am struggling to properly
respond to all
suggestions.
"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?
it doesn't hurt at all. It's good and I hope that Lenya will be able to
use stuff from it
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.
agreed
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.
I am not sure if I understand you on this. Can you explain a bit.
For instance I do a lot
of things within svn.wyona.org/repos/public and I think it would be bad
if I would upload everything
into the Lenya SVN just because I am a committer and have the
possibility to do so. And I think
every committer should behave like this so it seems to me that you are
doing the right way.
