Hi Mart, actually, you are half right. Fork & go.
Still the main reason I wrote wasn't recognized. Total anarchy in Django team. Core developers don't agree with each other on who will respond on what kind of messages, what part of Django contributions is under their maintenance. Moreover, new contributors are considered the least important creatures in the world!!! The more you do, the more attention your suggestions receive. But for your first enhancement to be approved, you'll have to wait a year! Ingenious! Half of feature expressed in list is never replied by core developers with their opinion or explanations. Half of feature requests in Trac got misunderstood or not replied or reviewed within 1 year. Imagine your recipients email boxes silently drops 50% of your traffic, and recipients don't response on 50% of last 50% within first year of waiting, after their receive confirmation, because they can't decide who can do what responses and they just don't have time. Will you succeed? Would you ever try? And a bit more about "fork & go" + "better maintenance": Say, if django team will not agree with JQuery merge into admin app, I'll fork django.contrib.admin as a separate project. It will increase development speed in about 3 times, maybe more. I still have much more other things to do it right now, but someone else might think as a brilliant idea to do that right now ;) I think some other modules can also be moved to separate repos, making someone (maybe out of django team) their sole maintainer, or using distributed model, and thus enhancing development speed in 3-100 times. So I hope django team will analyze their management structure critically and at least set responsible persons (maintainers) for different parts, to ensure there are no items nobody wants to listen/answer on feature request. I strongly believe there should be no attempts to contribute that "didn't attract our attention". -- Best regards, Yuri V.
