* I care if I can communicate with you on a professional level and if anything comes out of it in the end, or if I get the feeling I'm just wasting my time. That's all. | |||
* Fact of the matter is - you're a potential contributor until proven otherwise, and as far as I am concerned, that gets you basic politeness, some measure of attention and some measure of help from my side, just like I would do for anyone else asking in the forum. If you want more (information, help, of my time, of Hooray's time ...), you should keep in mind that at this point you want something from the community, and so *you* need to adapt to the community, understand how it works and play by its rules - not the other way around. To say it very bluntly - Flightgear will survive without you if needed (as it will survive without me if needed). | |||
* The time I am willing to spend trying to talk to you in the hope of any productive outcome is limited, it is about to be exhausted because I am feeling increasingly annoyed and see no real outcome except more talk. That may not have been your intention, but since it's brought to your attention that people start feeling annoyed, it might be a good idea to change the way you communicate. The chances that the devel community will adapt to your style of work are very slim indeed. | |||
* Your lack of understanding here is your inability to acknowledge that people are aware of the alternatives and have consciously chosen to organize the project the way it is. Speaking for myself, I simply don't want it done your way and would go away the day things become organized your way, and several other core developers have expressed similar sentiments on the devel list. | |||
* You assume that people basically have no clue and all you need to do is to point out how to make it better, but several people have considered the alternatives already and decided otherwise. This is what you need to understand. | |||
* Influence in the Flightgear community scales roughly with level of your contributions. | * Influence in the Flightgear community scales roughly with level of your contributions. | ||
