CENSORSHIP - Django Project (Schema Evolution Support)
[posted publicly to comp.lang.python, with email notification to 6
recipients relevant to the topic]
I have implemented a simple schema evolution support for django, due to
a need for a personal project. Additionally, I've provided an Audit:
http://case.lazaridis.com/wiki/DjangoAudit
As a result, I was censored ('banned' from the development list)
My initial non-public complain [1] about censorship on django devel,
sent to six relevant project recipients [2] remained unanswered.
The only 'answer' I got was an additional censorship on the _user_ list,
which is _completely_ unjustified, as I've just requested comments to my
code-level working results:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/88dcc4946c3bd7b2
-
I understand that the community was possibly confused due to my past
evaluations. But this gives in _no_ way the right to attack me
personally and to apply censorship.
Django was originally created in late 2003 at World Online, the Web
division2 of the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper in Lawrence, Kansas
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/AUTHORS#L128
The Django Project should really avoid such non-liberal actions in future.
Please enable my access to the user list, thus I can complete my work.
Thank you.

P.S.:
If anyone is interested to verify the results, in order to stabelize the
simple schema evolution support for django, please review the results

Sidenote:
I've implemented the above as the suggestions from the django project
(manually create an execute ALTER TABLE statements) would hinder me to
develop my application incrementally:
If you do care about deleting data, you'll have to execute the ALTER
TABLE statements manually in your database. That's the way we've always
done it, because dealing with data is a very sensitive operation that
we've wanted to avoid automating. That said, there's some work being
done to add partially automated database-upgrade functionality.

*SUMMARY*
* Censorship on django-developer
* Personal Projects
[...] - (non-public commercial part omitted)
*CENSORSHIP*
I would like to know for which reason I was banned from the developers
list.
Django comes from an newspaper environment, and I think you should
really evaluate your information twice before you *censor* someone on
the list, who has posted only topics relevant to django development in
order to fulfill several tasks for an Audit:
http://case.lazaridis.com/multi/wiki/DjangoAudit
Is this here really enough to justify censorship?:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/msg/fbb5a3aafe39d239
Please, Mr. Holovaty, enable my access to the development-list again
thus I can finalize my work.

*PERSONAL_PROJECTS*
Instead of blocking me without any justification from the
development-list, why don't you just look on my website, where I list
some links (including that one found' and explain the project:
http://lazaridis.com/core/eval/index.html
I've worked several years on this Core Project, which is finalized,
and in 2006 I've started to define the resulting services:
http://lazaridis.com/pj/index.html
As stated, I use django for a personal project (which I hope will secure
me some incomings). The evolve functionality was necessary in order to
start with development of my project. At the same time I made the audit
publicly, thus other people can benefit from my experiences.
Additionally, I look for a reference customer. Although I had planned to
finalize the Audit first and then to contact you, the missing access to
the developer list forces me to change my schedule.

To summarise, it was felt that Ilias was deliberately trolling the
mailing list. No further explanation seems necessary.
