Well, I do NOT care about the fact that he is not documenting Tomcat
instead since:
- He already does a lot;
- He is not alone at Tomcat, and others (even me or you) could work
on the documentation too. We just have other priorities;
- He as all the right to decide what he does on his free time and to
have other priorities too;
- Apache is not paying him and it is not up to us to discuss what Sun
does or does not care about;
Just to make clear that what I DO care about is that Craig is blaming
all that mess on Tomcat 3.3 instead of pointing the real issue - the
lack of documentation.
More people do listen to Craig than to me, so:
- It is much more productive when he points out the real issues
(which in this case are quite obvious);
- And it is much more nocive when he points on the wrong direction.
I still stick with my statement that I DO admire Craig's work. But:
- No one is perfect;
- People tend to have a less clear vision of facts about something
they are too involved with.
Anyway, errors can be made, but they usually also can be fixed.
Have fun,
Paulo
