For the record, I've even committed the cardinal sin of creating a MVC webapp framework which is not Turbine (http://mav.sourceforge.net), and Jon is still pretty friendly to me :-) You guys all need to lighten up. It's not like this is a workplace where everyone is competing for promotions or something. How this social game plays out isn't going to affect your paycheck or the people who hang out with you or whether or not you're going to get laid this weekend. A fair amount of banter is healthy in any community. Poking fun at each other, lighthearted insults, competition, and yes conflict are a standard part of any sitcom production. Sure, there's a time for "we all love each other" mushy-type stuff but if it was like that all the time it would get boring really damn fast. It is my observation that Apache works because of thick skins, not because of peace, love, and happiness vibes. There's nothing wrong with a limited number of competing projects under one roof. It's probably even a good idea. It's not like Maven and Centipede are competing implementations of the same API - this is pretty much a research field, and it's impossible to categorically predict at this point whether it is better to extend or generate the Gump descriptors, or to use XSLT or DVSL, etc. Until the science becomes engineering, this mad driving need (among some) to "merge merge merge" is a pathology. Let it be. Use the software you like. Write the software you like.
