The key, in terms of progress, is to argue for the right and sensible things.
Really, cause arguing has never brought anything but the ire of the community.
Destry, I wish this project was the utopia you speak of, but as you point out, it’s a volunteer effort. And there in lies the problem, successful projects at some point decided to treat themselves as a business.
Matt turned WordPress into a business.
Dries positioned Drupal as a business.
The Joomla! community came out the gate as a business.
The day Textpattern is treated as a business, where accountability replaces the “golly gee thanks for taking the time from your busy personal life to pay attention to this here Open Source community project”, is the day the core team will begin their journey down the road to a payday.
Shy of that, we’re just spitting into the wind.

“Argue” in the academic sense of the word, or therapeutic. ;)
And believe me, I know about ire. I get emails loaded with it. I save my two-word argument for that lucky few.

Yes, I love me a good debate. It’s actually where the better ideas come out of the good ones argued for.
But at some point we have to agree on direction, the therapeutic side where you work off all that built up angst.

I’m creating a template tag just for you, the <••••••••••• name=” “ /> tag.

Stop being a dick.
Edit gaekwad: Seriously, if Destry annoys you that much, ignore him. Airing dirty laundry in public is petty and just serves to bring things down.

Ok, if you say so.

I made the tag for Destry’s use, seeing as he uses a two-word argument for the lucky few.

I don’t know if you’re joking, and frankly I don’t care — so I’ll abandon thread and leave you to it. Namaste, sir.

One less easter egg to ponder on, damned.

It was actually 2 three letter words separated by a colon.
They weren’t curse words, you wouldn’t find them in a banned list, but Dick is in there.
As for the 2 three letter words, they came from a toungue-in-cheek story I wrote.
I’ll be careful to inject humor in the future, maybe wrap it in a <txp:funny /> tag just to be safe.

Re: Is the development of Textpattern at the end?
I didn’t see what the original words were, and I don’t care either, but I suspect Bert’s deadpan style of humor doesn’t travel across borders/cultures well.
Getting back to the original subject… Textpattern development may not be “at the end”, but this thread certainly is.
