I disagree. Ideas without a proposed implementation have little to no value.

If you just allow bug reports in GitHub Issues, and there are no open issues, it only implies the project has no known bugs. > A prove that I am not the only one who judges projects by their GitHub > Issue page: > http://solnic.eu/2011/11/29/the-state-of-ruby-orm.html > >> [..] I’m also absolutely amazed that this project has 0 issues on github >> - HUGE congratulations to Jeremy Evans.

The number of issues is not really important, it's how the issues are handled. And if you look at the handling of issues, you'll see that issues that are not bugs are closed quickly and real bugs are fixed quickly. > I don't want to offend you but IMO this is more like censorship. > You are entitled to your opinion, but I and the dictionary would disagree.

This is where feature requests are discussed. FWIW, Rails has the same policy as Sequel, they don't support feature requests in GitHub Issues. So it's not like Sequel is the only major ruby project that with this policy. Thanks, Jeremy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sequel-talk" group.
