--- Comment #20 from Aryeh Gregor <[email protected]> 2008-12-27 23:52:58 UTC --- To expand a little. If you want code committed to MediaWiki, you will have to write it in a form that one or more people with commit access is willing to review and commit. If you think the way you're asked to do things is stupid, that's fine, you have every right to your opinion, but MediaWiki is not a pluralistic democracy where everyone gets to write code that they personally think is good. If you think your code is good and MediaWiki developers think it's bad, you have two choices. You can acknowledge that when writing patches for MediaWiki, it's the MediaWiki developers who have the right to decide what goes into their project, and write your patches to their standards (however silly you find them). Or you can hold your nose up in the air and refuse to do things the way the people with commit access are asking you to, and then your code won't get committed. You've so far chosen the latter path as often as not, and that simply makes it a waste of time for me to bother reviewing your code. And regardless of coding standards, being rude to people is a surefire way of getting them to give up on you. I know you're a volunteer, but so am I. You're under no obligation to write patches, but I'm under no obligation to review or commit them. Regardless of any other circumstances, if you don't even take the basic step of being polite to me, I'm not going to be willing to review your code, because it's not going to be worth the unpleasantness. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
