This sounds like you're not going to participate in this. Do i
understand correctly? It also sounds very discouraging to me.
Janek
I don't see why you would get that impression. I will participate as usual,
although noting that my summer vacation ends this weekend. I was simply
reiterating something that Graham said to me on a number of occasions -
don't assume that the work you do will be accepted - it's always possible
that anything done on a collaborative project won't be. Patches are
criticised, changed and occasionally junked, and the same can apply to
proposals for changes in tools and processes - so don't become too committed
and expend more work than you can afford to lose. Ever.
