Hello? Is this thing on? This project has a whopping
9GB website that all of maybe 5 people on the planet
know how to takecare of, and it is rife with stale
information inherited from a different past. The website
is a*community* resource and that means*everyone* is
responsible for its upkeep. You should be working hard
to ensure that*everyone* is capable of fixing it, not
making exceptions for certain committers just because
they do special things for you in other areas. Anyone
can use the CMS to submit a patch, and had Hagar done
at least that much I wouldn't have anything to gripe about.
The technology that facilitates website maintenance happens
to be a CMS, but really it is no more challenging to work with
than the average wiki. Get over it, it's not a technological
barrier for anyone capable of using a web browser, that means
Hagar is part of the intended user base, despite his attitude
towards it.
The tone, if not the intention, of your posts is extremely insulting and condescending. Hagar
gives a lot of time to this project and he spends it in areas that he has expertise in.
Do you think every committer should learn how to program and fix code? Your unreasonable demand
of Hagar is the equivalent of that.
Hagar deserves an apology from you. This project needs people like him. Personally, if I was a
committer, I would tell you where to stick it.
