I know maintaining core is a difficult task, and I have complimented you about it in person a few times already. I will do it again and buy you a beer on the next event that we meet. You do a lot of good work. Do not assume that you (or in general "only the core" people) are the only people around who understand the complication on maintaining large projects. There are many more difficult and large projects in the world than you can imagin. Can we please get back to the attempt to get consensus about proposed changes? -- MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions Mark@Overmeer.net solutions@overmeer.net http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.netThread Previous | Thread Next
