With what stuff? With you popping up from nowhere and saying that Jetspeed
sucks and is the wrong direction? I don't think so.

I'm not concerned with flexibility because the BSD is flexible enough for me
(and more flexible than the GPL) and the ASF carries the position that the
ASF License is indeed compatible with the GPL. But, I'm not going to get
into a licensing debate with you as I have done it before and it isn't worth
wasting my time.

Sorry, I'm not going to help you with your code because I already have
enough on my plate. Glancing at the framework stuff leaves me wondering why
you are creating yet another framework once again. Here we are about two
years later and you are back at the same point. I don't get you sometimes.

I doubt that Albert called the other people's works that he was duplicating
a "hindrance."

#1. You could have stepped up to modify Turbine to make it fit your needs
instead of re-inventing the wheel yet again. So, your argument is lame.

#2. Tell me the truth, when was the last time you really took a good look at
Turbine? Have you see what is going on in the HEAD? Somehow, I doubt it.
Even when you were working with Turbine, you made little effort to actually
understand it and implement Jetspeed correctly within the Turbine model. You
left a huge mess behind yourself and now you come back expecting or even
suggesting that people jump ship and follow you? You just confirmed my
suspicions that you are nuts. :-)

2.1 is a mess. 2.2/3.0 is very nice. Jason van Zyl is leading the effort and
I have great confidence in his work and his design skills. They are much
better than mine and he has the time to devote to it.

That's good, because I think pretty much everything that I have seen you do
as "non-ideal." :-)

Personally, I like people who stick around a project for the long haul and
work to improve things over people who come and go randomly and leave
unfinished messes behind.

I applaud the Jetspeed developers for picking up that mess and at least
attempting to shape it into something worthwhile.

Good luck with your cathedral Kevin.
