[EMAIL PROTECTED] is not a discussion list. It's for receipt and release of content, occasionally with the necessity of providing feedback regarding errors. I do and will continue to do my best to manage the incoming submissions, other demands on my time permitting. It's the same situation as if you send a patch to [EMAIL PROTECTED] depend on Troy's availability and now-and-again how disheartened he is at what some patches try to do to Sword. At present, there are no pending submissions. Your list of suggested additions to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with due respect, consists of persons who are technically unqualified or, because they do not subscribe to CrossWire policies on these matters, ideologically unqualified to be part of that process. I don't mean to insult or ruffle any feathers by that, but that's how things are, and I think your own words pretty much support that position. > 2) I think you need to accept that while everyone here appreciates your > technical ability many seriously chafe under your management of things. And I think many of the complaints from the last few days come from individuals who cannot or will not respect authority. Change to current systems and workflows can come, but not without respect for the existing policies and guiding principles. Logos has a guiding principle that I've always respected. Their position is that Bible software ought to be the best software in the world. I believe we ought to adopt that principle insofar as we are able. For my own part I try to make our content as high quality as I can, within my own and the source materials' limitations. That's not always been my belief. Once I was young and impetuous and felt that it was most important and most impressive to get as much content out as quickly as possible. But I've since come to greater appreciate that the work we do deserves better than a careless attitude. How much I do is less important than how well it is done. If you do not believe that Bibles, as well as associated content, deserve the utmost care and the devotion of as much time as is necessary to do right by them, then I do not believe you have any business working with them, for it suggests an inadequate respect for the Bible itself. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
