Hi, Reference: > From: Nate Williams <nate@sri.MT.net> > Subject: Re: tcl -- what's going on here. > > The FreeBSD Project is *NOT* a democracy, True > and never will be. Many shades of grey available between democracy & autocracy, each with advantages & disadvantages, I'd like to see the slide to autocracy reversed. > Hinting that it be that way is pure foolishness. Ask for nothing, get nothing, ... etc. > If you want something done, *DO IT YOURSELF*. Writing code is _easy_, getting it _committed_ is the hard bit, nothing I can do about that, just keep posting, then give up, & file each bit in parallel src & ports trees, ( I've recently made these trees of patches & extra bits available under http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src/ ). EG: ports/mail/exmh: waiting 6 months, there were some imperfect bits, since fixed, version upgraded, still waiting... EG vi + chimera + ghostview diffs to implement a Wysiwig sort of thing, they add extra functionality, they're small, they do no harm ... Coding is easy, getting things committed is far far harder. > Even though I disagree with Poul's recent > TCL stuff, at least he did something. I should have initially changed my Subject: to indicate a new thread, I wasn't refering to Poul's tcl episode, that's a complex hot topic I'm steering clear off :-) > 'Nuff said, time for some gophers to *DIE*!!!!! Umm .. Err Montana still ? ... Have a nice day ... & I wish the gophers a clean shot & a painless quick kill ! .... gulp ;-) Julian -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
