Fourth: Re: dirty laundry. This is almost a
non-starter. Yes, some
things were said that caused a bit of an uproar. Yes, the project is
being held up in some respects. On the other hand, we have enough
people here who care enough to give voice to their opinions AND who care
enough to see the project succeed that the idea that "dirty laundry"
being aired in public being a bad thing is absurd. The results say
otherwise. Politics has NO place in an engineering project. None.
Ever. Don't let the idea of politics creep in and kill an otherwise
wonderful thing.
Fifth: Personal attacks here are without doubt,
worthless. This is a
list for developers, coders, and engineers. To call someone's attitude
ridiculous goes right back into my previous statement about politics.
I agree hole-heartedly.
"Need-To-Know" is a governments way of admiting to its people that its got a
problem (its screwed up). Just how many people where reading the dev list
when the laundry bag was emptyed. If someone wanted to know, i'de just
email-em the back copys of the offending email. but im not about "who's got
the biggest sword", so, if this is just about hiding sh*t, its too late for
that.
