Dear Dimitry,
I assume that your announcement of your intention to create a fork of
FreeMind project is based on differences in opinion between you and
Christian Foltin.
If this assumption is wrong, I wonder why you announce your intention to
fork FreeMind project now, at the time at which I am finally free to quit
FreeMind project, released from my promise to be the project director; at
the time at which I am about to actually quit FreeMind project.
I also fail to understand how your email is related to the subject title,
which is "Vision for the second project". From reading the email, I would
assume that a more telling subject title would be "Intention to fork
FreeMind project". Anyway.
Best regards,
Dan
FreeMind director
