Don't worry about those who only remember "he was a name pusher."
Huh, was that aimed at me ????
I don't have anything against people going from one extreme to another
(hey I was once in those shoes myself), but I must admit that find it hard
to "trust" somebody who does it in just a few days ....
But I do have a problem with people
- setting out for gigantic tasks, without having a basic clue.
- demanding others to help in those futile projects.
- pestering developers with "port this, port that".
- pestering developers with their personal whishes, ignoring that they have allready
been told that they are no top-priority.
- developers making (pre-)announcements for stuff they have just started.
- developers pulling release dates out of thin air.
- non-developers pulling release dates out of thin air
And thats something I have no problem voicing, not matter wether it is black, blue,
green or red.
Wouldn't it be nice if those working on a project would simple wait till they got
something real to show ? Or atleas give out realistic status-reports ?
Wouldn't it be nice if those wanting to start a big project would first look into it,
find out what THEY got do themselves, and only than ask for help ?
Wouldn't it be nice if people demanding obscure open-source-ports without
even remotly understanding the basic works involved in such a port would just STFU ?
