Hi Dimitry,
I would like you for the future to play with fairness as you are trying
to start with a very similar project.
This fairness include (perhaps among other points) that
* advertising of FreePlane isn't welcome.
* Complaints about the current leadership of FreeMind isn't welcome,
too.
* Please, refrain from writing directly to people that ask for
development inside the FreeMind project.
You cause them to get puzzled and to get a bad impression of what
is happening here.
If you are doing a good job in your project, you get automatically new
developers. But the way, you try to
attract them currently is not suitable.
I may remind you that your problems inside this team were mostly self
caused, but I don't warm up these old stories
everytime.
And I would never write for example inside VYM that FreeMind is the
better application. This is voted by the users, only.
Best regards,
Chris
