Is Alioth such a cruel place to work together? Is it me - am I awful to work with? Why do you ask for my advice on how to most effectively avoid working together with me?!?

Sorry for being aggressive above!

I realize now (after some sleep, and then working some on a talk I will hold next week in Taiwan about interaction between upstreams, distros and subdistros) that branching off a Git is a *use* of my work. I should not discourage *use*, even if it comes in a diferent form than I had envisioned.

So please accept my apology, and if not too late (if my initial response didn't discourage you), then please do return with whatever technical questions you have regarding early branching for gNewSense. I shall try to help you succeed with your branching of my work if that is really what you want to do.


Hope you will engage more than just fork off,

Above remark still stands :-)

Also, I still recommend limiting cross-posts to initial announcements and doing follow-ups only at a single list: Invite broadly but have the actual conversation in a single "meeting room" rather than shouting all out from the hill tops. For this discussion I recommend using the Alioth list, and have added a reply-to accordingly.

I only continue cross-posting as long as others do. If you want to read all of this thread, then beware that some of it reside only at the Alioth list.

If you want to spawn a different subtopic which might be better suited for a different of the cross-posted lists, then do cross-post, but change the subject line, and propose a new single list for follow-ups.

 - Jonas
