Care to elaborate? 

What exactly do you consider "bad"? That I work on a code base that
you consider dead? That people like Martin Poeschl got a Turbine 2.2
release done instead of simply telling people "Hey, we moved on to
something completely new, either you follow us or you must live with
the broken Turbine 2.1 / 2.2-dev code".

Why do you say 

12:10:15 PM <jason> i honestly thing that's great that you're working
with 2.x, users need it." (http://irc.werken.com/channels/turbine/3-13-03.txt)

if you actually think that I'm "essentially a bad thing that happened
to Turbine"?

That the remaining developers try to clean up the confusion around
Turbine, Version 2.x, T3, Fulcrum and all this stuff and want users to
actually be able to follow the direction we want to go? Is this in
your opinion a bad thing? That we might move in baby steps, care about
the deprecation rules that you yourself helped setting up, try to have
stable releases before doing something new? Do you consider this
"bad"?

That at least some developers try to restore confidence into the
Turbine code base; that it will have a future as "Turbine" instead of
creating half a dozen subprojects with cool names which never had any
official releases and then got abandoned over night (JCS, Fulcrum,
Stratum) or folded at some point into another apache project. Do you
_honestly_ think that this was "a good thing" to happen to Turbine?

That you gave up at one point, pulled your code out of the Jakarta
CVS, because (at least that's what my memory tells me, sorry if I'm
wrong here) you prefer working on this off-jakarta. Why didn't you try
to communicate with the developers who are not present @ irc but
preferred to move out?

I simply don't understand you. Maybe it's my lack of language command.
Maybe I don't really understand your motivations or you have some
motives that you don't want to reveal yet, which drive you to do what
you do. Sorry, I'm lost here.

I wish you all the best with Plexus/Summit and if you really crush the
current Turbine development under your foot, I hope you will get
satisfaction out of it and if all the Turbine users come crawling to
the great unified web application solution, great.

But please, until then, let the remaining Turbine developers work on
what _they_ consider useful and if you feel not being involved in
discussions about the Turbine code base, maybe its because you're
(your words) no longer a committer in the true sense of the word.

I (and I think every other Turbine developer but I can't really speak
for them) do welcome you, your opinions and ideas on the -dev
list. But you might understand, even if you don't like it, that we
might move at a slower pace or even with other ideas than you do.

And because the developers don't use irc.werken.com to discuss, this
doesn't mean that there is no discussion at all.
