Quim Gil <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #24 from Quim Gil <[email protected]> --- pirate, some people like Bartosz are putting plenty of volunteering hours to maintain the software you use freely and for free. I understand you miss a feature that has been removed, but you must also understand that such feature was in the way of other fixes that the maintainer applied. Software architecture is like... architecture: you can't just add floors and windows without taking other elements into consideration. From the point of view of the maintainers this discussion is not about BlueCologne. Among the MediaWiki skins supported in Wikimedia sites, no one supports Quick Bar to float left or right. Users of the default Vector skin don't have this feature either. What now? In a collaborative, open source project the only sensible option for a user like you is to open an enhancement request, find other users with a common interest, argument and lobby for it. Convince a developer to propose an implementation that would work, and to work on it. As other have explained, this developer can be anybody, not necessarily the maintainers. Not easy? I agree. But it's not easy for a volunteer maintainer to support several skins, catching up with the platform's new and deprecated features and with the different expectations of hundreds of users reporting problems just like you. Thank you for your understanding. I'm going to re-establish the WONTFIX resolution of the maintainer. Please don't reopen this report again. Instead, open a new enhancement request. Thank you.
