That is perfectly alright, but having this work in the ASF rep would help to review your ideas and we benefit on a project base. > > You are aware of the fork because I mentioned it in the thread about > handling extensions.

It seems to me that one solution is to create a branch and check in your code. This way we have a pool of ideas and architecture enhancement that we can use. Regarding the complains of others, we need to find a more productive way to discuss this points in this community. Having code examples is helping me personally a lot more then dry discussions. > > I did not start the fork because my suggestions are disdained. I did > not do it to hurt the project in any way.

My code and ideas are unwanted in trunk, so how > does my private work hurt the project? Yes and no. IMO it hurts the project not having your code. We are loosing valuable ideas. Let me state crystal clear (in the name of the Lenya PMC) that your code is wanted. Let us create a branch and see how we can reuse your work in the trunk. > > I would enjoy adding a branch at ASF, but why do it?

Since now you are the only one working on the version but maybe people will join you and we can enhance the trunk as well. > The programmers enjoy working on the complex > version. I consider myself as programmer and believe me I do *not* enjoy working on complex things and I would love to see a simpler version. > The users who would benefit from the easier version could > not add value to it.

It is your decission but like I stated I see it as lost for this project, which makes me sad. salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!"
