Hi,

I handed over the module User Karma quite a while ago (a few months now).
Since then:

* Issue queue abandoned
* Zero commits
* Only ONE contribution http://drupal.org/node/478892 which gave a random person CVS access to the module (?!?) without checking references, asking what he wants to do with it, etc.

Please revert the ownership back to me. Enough is enough. I will take care of this module properly and actively, since it's an important one, until an *active* comaintainer who has proved herself decides to take over.

Please don't send me to http://drupal.org/node/251466 -- I've read it, but this situation is a little different (see the points above)

Bye,

Merc.

You have CVS access to the project. While I turned back drigg to you, I am unsure why should I do the same with this project. Even that might not have been the best. Calling ingo86 a random person when he clearly stated he is a GSoC student is something to frown upon, too.

Hi,

I had the feeling he was a random to the maintainer, not to me. Accidentally, I am talking to ingo86 about writing the extra plugin -- I am talking to him privately about which direction to take etc. Which incidentally is writing something specific for his project, rather than changing the current User Karma codebase.

I will not work on User Karma till I am give ownership again out of principle. To me, nothing justifies months of abandonment without a word to the existing userbase, without a commit, and with only one bessage where he granted CVS access without questioning what changes ingo86 was proposing, how, etc.

User Karma can be maintained by me, or abandoned. Drigg depends heavily on User Karma, so there is not much point in pushing Drigg further if User Karma is "managed" by somebody who doesn't commit code.

It's up to you.

Hi,

I finally managed to open the GSoC page -- which gave me a timeout when I tried last.
I think his ideas are good, and am happy to help him.

As a matter of principle, I will be totally happy to work on User Karma - and as a consequence on Drigg -- once I have User Karma's ownership again.

It's up to you I suppose. I can only offer help based on what I feel comfortable with. If that's not possible (that is, you want to leave ownership t o the developer who abandoned the module for months), that's totally fine too. You have your rules to follow.

Bye,

Merc.

OK, let it be. I would like to ask you to treat our GSoC students with special care. Thanks. (Also, your attitude / principles does not sound too friendly but oh well)

Hi CHX,

I am only unfriendly when I am furious. (And no, I am not furious at you nor "Drupal")
And people taking over a module, and then disappearing for 6 months, make me furious. Ungrateful people make me furious. People who disregard other people's work make me furious. Maybe it's a long list, but maybe it's also fair enough.

Ask anybody -- anybody -- who has worked with me or who has been taught by me if I am helpful and unfriendly.

I will take special care of him. I have offered him to catch up in Italy when I am over there -- that's BEFORE you wrote this message. Why? Because he seems motivated, wants to learn, and wants to help.

The ungrateful, the full-of-themselves, the ones who demand customisation work for free, and a few others... I have no mercy nor compassion in me. I guess I should work on it.

Thank you chx, good choice you did, and please mercmobily don't enter into explanations or wars, remember that was why you left developpement because of relational problems online, and a bad feeling, so don't waste any time justifying yourself online or arguing with others, it's not good for health and for drigg development itself :-)

Hi,

All good. I am not as irritated by the fact that development was dead for 6 months. A fact of life I suppose... all good. Fixing User Karma first, then EVF, and then... drigg, which is a little scary -- there are lots of issues and the codebase is big.

And it's very bad for Karma ;-)
