Public SourceMage Discussion List

[Seth Alan Woolley <seth AT positivism.org>]

Nobody hid it.  It hit the list within a day or two of the discussions, 
and nobody had made any decisions.  As far as I'm concerned I'm supposed 
to make the final decision and I'm nowhere near that point, but I'm 
inclined to let them go their both ways and use the one that's done 
first.  That it's in the release notes eliminates your criticism that it 
should have been discussed more openly -- there's nothing more open than 
the release notes which hit not just the mailing list but every user.

I really can't understand what your problem is besides an emotional 
implication resulting from the fact that you weren't involved in a 
random ad-hoc discussion on irc.  There were no scheduled meetings, the 
discussion just materialized.  When it happened, I let people know 
discussion happened and that it continues.  I'm essentially being 
criticized for not sending a _separate_ email about it with more limited 
distribution, and you won't just let go of it all because it was implied 
that you were merely an indirect stakeholder.  Cut me some slack here, 
and let's remember there are humans on both ends of the connection.

And I would have sent out my own release announcement except my brain 
was frying from a virus and I asked Arwed to send out the email so I 
didn't have to and could go home and try to sleep it off.

Can we just drop it?  You've made your point -- I don't really see the 
big deal -- but at least I know that you want to be considered for any 
decision made on prometheus.  It has to end somewhere, let it be here.  
And for what it's worth, I'm sorry I implied you were an indirect 
stakeholder.  Clearly, by now, everybody knows you aren't.
