I'm a Summer of Code student this year (so, not a /real/ E developer), and I was planning on keeping my head entirely out of this conversation, but each email makes that more and more difficult. So I've decided to express my _opinion_ on the matter of the E community (I'm have no preference in the license wars, and I will *not* choose a side).
I've come to realize that the E community might not be as healthy as it appears from the outside; it certainly isn't as /large/ as it appears, nor as large as it would need to be in order to sustain a codebase of this size and expand its user base (as I assume one of the goals of the project is). However, it is my opinion that this is, in fact, *not* a license issue, nor a quality issue, or anything of that matter - the simple fact is, you *are* losing potential developers with arguments like this (and the rest from weeks past). They notice the amount of time the 'community' spends on things like this (among other issues), and move on to other projects. I know this, because I know a handful of said developers, and the fact that they decided not to work on E saddens me, but I cannot find fault in their argument; I'm sorry. Anyway - here's to a speedy resolution of this, and millions more lines of working, usable, use*ful* code.
