Jason,
while everyone of the current active Turbine developers really
appreciate your input and vast knowledge and vision, IMVHO it is
simply not possible that you do things like the 1.85 checkin to the
turbine-2 repo:
--- cut ---
Revision 1.85 / Sun Feb 9 14:53:28 2003 UTC (4 weeks, 6 days ago) by jvanzyl
[...]
o I am no longer a committer in any real sense.
--- cut ---
and then, when the active committers and users start discussing some
changes which many of us want, you pop up again, saying
"That's not going to happen so long as I'm around here."
The question is:
Are you still around here in the real sense of a developer and committer?
or
Are you no longer a committer in any real sense?
At least I would be very grateful if you would finally decide what you
want. I'm unhappy that you walk around @ irc calling me "a foe" and
want to go "toe to toe" with me and "really give me a fight" but then
barge in when finally someone wants to tackle the documentation
problem of a project you don't really care any longer about.
So what will it be?

Your objections have surely been noted by Chris and whoever will be on
the documentation team. I personally will work there only as someone
who gives his code knowledge to the team and I will go with whatever
these guys decide to use.
So even if you have any personal problems with me, please keep them
aside and argue from an objective point of view.

Where is the "anakia" format documented, how can the docs team write
docs in this format efficiently and what tools are available to work
with this format. Into which formats can it be converted? Will you
actively work with Chris and other potential doc writers or will you
simply block everything that does not fit your grand vision?
Why do you come rushing in with "This will not happen as long as I'm
around", trying to block any possible progress while you publicly
stated that you don't work with the current T2 code any longer?
You said that you consider at least my work with the T2 code as
"irrelevant" and think that everything I do on the current code base
has already been done very much better in other projects (at least you
said so in public on #turbine @ irc.werken.com) . So, why do you even
bother to hang around here anymore?
Regards
Henning
