Pardon for the navel-gazing here, but the more I'm upset that my commit got reverted without allowing me the courtesy to do so myself. In my book, that is not healthy community behavior. I'm trying not to be poisonous here (though, I guess the mere mention of that is liable to brand me poisonous in your book). Please consider it from my perspective: 1) I saw an interesting patch from Daniel that I wanted to review yesterday (fuzzy hunk patch) 2) I couldn't view his patch with GMail because it only offered me to download it. 3) So, I had to do all sorts of funkiness to view it; but I download the .patch and review it. 4) I remember that we had a mentioned in the old HACKING about patch submissions; so I figure it'd be nice to point Daniel at it so that future submissions are easier to review... 5) I looked in my trunk WC for HACKING...oops... 6) Oh, right...it moved to www/hacking.html...oops... 7) Oh, right...we moved the site out of trunk and to its own directory... 8) Bring up subversion.a.o....oops...hunt for a few minutes... 9) "Where is it?" I can't find it! 10) ...hunt for a few more minutes... 11) ...Oh! There it is, it's now called "community guide" and the only link I can find is at the bottom of "Getting Involved"... 10) Okay, go to the page and find the appropriate link to send to Daniel. 11) Send review... 12) ...few hours passed... 13) "Gee, perhaps, I'm not the only one who would run into this problem?" Can I do something constructive for the next poor sap? 14) Look at the site and try to figure out where the best approach may be. "I'm a full committer. I follow the lists. So, it should be C-T-R. I'll just go figure out what I think is best and do it and discuss later if someone has an issue with it." ...add link to sidebar... 15) ...go to sleep... 16) See email from C-Mike saying "Dude, please revert this change." 17) ...try to explain why I think the change is goodness... 18) See email from Mark screaming "FOUL!" all over the place 19) ...see that my explanations are ignored and the change is reverted anyway... So, I'm now left wondering why I bothered at all. This isn't the constructive tone in the community that I remember or am used to. Maybe I actually did something really really wrong - but I don't see how adding a link on the sidebar is something evil and deserves such a slap in the face. What happened? -- justin
