They didn't seem to be "throwaway" to me - Simon had his requests prepared beforehand. Also, it is only a single video, but that video is a pretty good resource for the topic of Django's future. It was the topic of the entire hour. Are you implying that it's a poor source for people wondering where Django is going? It was explicitly designed to be exactly that kind of source. > Then there is no way the thread will ever result in a code change or > even a resolution.

It adds no value to the process of making a decision. The target is to get a clear read on whether patches to shortcuts are going to be considered, or dismissed by their nature. The objections I have received on my patches apply equally well to all shortcuts. I think that there is a difference in opinion and philosophy in the community that has real effects on what goes into Django and what doesn't. Concretely, I have had the same ticket set to "Accepted" by a core committer and then threatened to be wontfixed by another. Is it wrong for me to want clarification on this? Futher, I simply do not understand how you can say that a question as to what that philosophy is has no value in the decision making process. At the very least, it helps people to decide what they'll submit patches for, and what they won't. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
