I am indeed struggling to see why a volunteer donating their time and skills to produce a tool which is useful to the community, committing that code in a way that makes it as accessible as possible to other developers, prioritising its stability and availability, and soliciting feedback from other members of the community, is in some way something that should be treated with scorn and negativity. If it has both better current functionality than the current code, and more energy for development from its maintainer(s), then it's a useful addition to our suite of tools; if not then it's a useful addition to the corpus of open source software in general. In no circumstances is its existence anything worse than neutral. --HM _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
