Create a new thread, if discussions leave off ground

2003-01-30 Thread SAXESS - Hussayn Dabbous 
Nowadays threads keep on growing, but the discussions
sometimes turn away from the thread title. then it becomes
really a problem to guess the content from the title.

It would take less time to get hold on personally
relevant mails ;-)

thank you,
Hussayn

No no no... you dont get it. Im a consumer. Im a professional programmer. Im
not some guy hackign in his dorm room between classes. I dotn have TIME to
learn the detailed integrated architecture of every little product I use.


...


Once I figured out how it worked I would have to
figure out a resolution to the problem and THEN get apache to accept the
resolution. All this before my product is done and my customers are looking
to download and use it. NOT.




Robert,

I agree on the sorry state of the doc in Cocoon; sorry state which I take, partially, as a fault of mine, since I wrote only 3-4 FAQ
entries and a couple pages... and I could have done more.

I don't agree on the bug resolution part: I uncovered a couple problems with the SQLTranformer: it was easy to fix them and have
them (well, actually one) accepted by the committers.

Compare that with a closed-source product: it would have taken me days struggling with the tech support to just have the problem
recognised as such; and then, I would have ended up waiting for the next release.

Regards,

Also keep in mind that changing the subject title while replying won't 
be enough to rethread, since most decent MUAs still keep the references 
in place, and show their threaded view depending on these references. If 
you really want to rethread, better start a new message.
