I am sorry if I hurt any feelings by using the term 'censorship'. That certainly was not my intention. That's why I made the notion that this term is not meant in a bad way. I do not want to fight over a term, a word. In effect a group of people judges if something created by someone else is published or held back. I don't know how else to call that... I absolutely agree that this is done in best intentions and I absolutely support the installation of such process. I just wanted to emphasize the importance of transparency _because_ this might be regarded as censorship otherwise. That's all. And I am pretty sure that I do not confuse this process with Apples politics. -- Christian Reiner (arkascha) [ [email protected] ] _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
