You seem to have misinterpreted things; Lack of manpower (and perhaps poisitive incentive) leadss to slow progress, but that’s very different from complacency. Nobody needs disrupting/shocking out of complacency, what’s needed is contributions to actually fix bugs and implement missing features. I think that’s what Riccardo was saying, and while I can see how you might think his response was insulting to your effort, please consider that; a. he’s frustrated by the fact that, over the years, he’s repeatedly been told that his work is not good enough, by people who aren’t actually contributing code improvements themselves b. your response to a (possibly misinterpreted/imagined) insult was to be extremely, disproportionately insulting (at least we are left in no doubt about whether you intended to be insulting or not) I realise that when you try stuff, and it doesn’t work, you are quite understandably irritated/angry. But making a video of (even if yuou tell yourself it’s ‘constructive criticism’) it doesn’t much help other than as a way to vent your feelings. Please consider instead, this process: Pick out the most irritating thing you found Figure out how to fix it Contribute that fix to the project Hopefully you’ll then get enough thanks to make you feel better about it. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
