Hi Hagar, BTW - Kay has picked up what the real topic you brought here was, and this is something that is much more for discussion than it is something to simply change.

The only lesson anyone should take is that Joe is sometimes harsh. And it has been a difficult process mentoring this project for a solid year. I have time to fix what I can on the website from the reports that I see on this list ooo-dev. I do not spend any time looking in Bugzilla for web reports. This is a place to discuss what is going on in the community. > I made the mistake to think that the target was to build a welcoming > community where the most skilled people could take over the job when less > skilled ones could not. It is, but we also want others (not necessarily you) to learn the easy things and even some of the harder things with the CMS. In the ooo-site's perl modules only Joe and I have done any commits that were not initial or build triggering. In the ooo-site's template directory we are up to 7 different people making commits so there are more making changes. I think for the ooo-site by rough count the number is over 20 different committers since the 3.4 release. > BTW, thanks to the people who expressed their support and understanding about > the limits we all have to face at some point. I think letting one person's responses chase you away is very unfortunate. If you don't like something someone says just ignore it. And I don't have time for this either. Regards, Dave > > Hagar
