Re: Maybe wrong priorities ?

Let's analize why your comment is bad and silly.

1 - You say "who cares about KDE-EDU" and then you say "Anyways, cheers to all", saying something rude and then something "nice" does not make people forgot the rudeness.

2 - You assume that KDE-EDU developers could be "magically" reassigned to "more important parts", as you call them. But actually i am almost sure all KDE-EDU developers are non-paid developers, so you can't just reassign them because they work on what they like.

3 - Your rudeness analized in point 1 will probably make non-paid developers of point 2 sad and maybe they'll loose motivation, that would mean less developers on KDE-EDU and no new developers on "mode important parts", congrats you just made us lose developers!

4 - You assume that KDE-EDU developers are some kind of wizard programmers that can just go to "more important parts", read it's non trivial code they have never seen before and fix the code without any problem. That's not true.

So your comment is bad because of 3 and silly because of 4.

Peace.

1. You are right here, I'm sorry if I offended anyone though I didn't mean to.

2. Here you are wrong. I do not assume anything, you make false assumptions about things I didn't say. I just made what is called an "observation", you obviously interpreted it as a "suggestion" or "trying to boss around". Your mistake then.

3. Wow. I can't express my opinion because when I do KDE loses developers ? Lame way of thinking. Although you are right again I should choose my words more carefully.

4. Again, I do not assume and I do not assign people to projects. Everyone is part of this only because of his free will and anything he does is enough.

So, my initial comment expressed a valid OBSERVATION (note the word) in a rude way, for which I apologize. If you choose to look at the finger and miss the moon help yourself ...

An observation with which purpose? Sorry, but IMHO it's worth nothing.
