Hi Joan, > Your email is aggressive, and your apology is not accepted.
I didn’t want it to be. I beg you for your pardon then. My frustration was real, but I can assure you that I am not an aggressive person. There would not have been any ambiguity in my mother language : discussing technologies in a foreign language is one thing, expressing your feelings is another. > This topic has been discussed to death on the mailing lists and I am not > going to be pulled into a retread of this argument. > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/201702.mbox/%3CB6DB98EC-42B1-4960-9E43-257F040238F1%40apache.org%3E I’m just a « user »… a very dedicated and passionated user (I’m in the top 10% on StackOverflow about CouchDB and I taught CouchDB to more than 150 french software engineers), but a user. That’s why I never subscribed to the « dev » mailing list (or for a very short period of time). I now understand that I should have, but it’s too late. My frustration is as high as has been my passion for six years for this incredibly interesting project. I respect the board decisions but now I will have a hard time finding money (which is sparse in academic research) to move all of our software to a different technology stack and arguments to explain to all of my collaborators that I bet on a technology stack that got rapidly deprecated. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Aurélien
