Re: There is no cabal
I wasn't offered my own new wiki-thread though, maybe I didn't ask the right person... What do you mean offered my own new wiki-thread? You don't get offered something on a wiki. You go and start it yourself. I realise that you had not intended to make this much of an issue out it, or to trample on another (if aged) project. As I see it, it's happened that way, because of choices people-in-power have made as to how to react to someone who disagrees with them. And particularly to those people who are outside of the current magic-circle. What sort of power are you ascribing to these unnamed people-in- power? There is no power. There is no Perl Cabal who are allowed to do things on a wiki, and others who are not. Anyone can edit anything on the wiki. Even Elaine. It is the very nature of open source. xoa -- Andy Lester = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = www.petdance.com = AIM:petdance

This thread was about Elaine's Timeline, and her right to continue her project as she sees fit, rather than someone else to decide on behalf of the community that her project should be arbitrarily side-lined. -- Richard Foley Ciao - shorter than aufwiedersehen http://www.rfi.net/

Elaine has an absolute right to continue her project as she sees fit. No one could stop her from continuing her project if they wanted to. No one is advocating removing her page. No one has decided that her project should be arbitrarily side-lined. If people choose to work on Elaine's project, then no one can stop them. Who would be so foolish or mean-spirited as to even try? Starting a new, complementary (or competing) project to an existing project is the very core of open source. -- Andy Lester = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = www.petdance.com = AIM:petdance

Only one? The question is whether the cabal is an array or a scalar. Personally I think it is a hash. (Or involves hash...)

The good thing about software is that it's consistent: it always does not work, and it always does not work in exactly the same way.
