That blog post has only one little mistake. The mistake was to write it.   Who cares about "he"/"they"? It isn't an issue, and it was never been. The issue in that in opensource it's customary to base all commits on technical reasons. That's when you're discussing code and think about whether it would be good to merge it or not. <…> That kind of corporate politics has no place in OSS community.   Hello Alex, you use the word “community” and it seems to me that has certain implications. It is perhaps a sad truth that the word is used in OSS as a cliche or bromide, that OSS is mostly a *hobby* for very smart people (men?) otherwise gainfully employed, but I would like to believe that is not the case. Communities are not built on technicalities, and the concerns of a community extend beyond the technical. Also, this is not about code, is it? It’s documentation. Arnout Kazemier, thank you for your response on English usage as a non-native speakers. I hope I addressed the points you raise in my previous response on the thread.
