Ok. That's an impression. But that was not our intention. There are several places where we state very clearly, that we are yet experimental. And we also did not state that we are the future code base for eGroupWare. We also call us Tine 2.0. And not eGroupWare 2.0 anymore. > I really appreciate your effort to modernize eGW, but IMO you should > also take into account that the other project members, who are not yet > fully convinced of your proposal, need some kind of protection of their > investment into the existing framework.

We had a meeting with Ralf and Nigel to talk about how we can improve the current codebase. It was our intention to work on eGroupWare 1.4. They rejected our ideas in general and insulted us. That's the reason why have started Tine 2.0. There would have been no Tine 2.0 project and no discussion, if they would not have rejected our ideas in general. They would not have to protect their investments, because we had been improving their investments. I don't ignore their investments, but I can also not ignore my investments, if you like to call it like that. They also stated that are still working on eGroupWare 1.x codeline. Of course this situation is strange. But the project admins can't solve the problem, by simply ignoring Tine 2.0. > IMO eGW indeed needs a double-track approach, but members of both > groups really should consider the interests of the opposite side as > well.

I'm very open to any agreement. As long as it does not mean, that we need get invisible again. We are also part of the eGroupWare project. -- Lars Kneschke CTO OfficeSpot.Net Metaways Infosystems GmbH Pickhuben 2-4, D-20457 Hamburg eGroupWare Support: http://www.egroupware-support.net OfficeSpot.Net Collaboration Server: http://cs.officespot.net our proposal for the next major eGroupWare release: http://www.tine20.org E-Mail: mailto:l.k...@me...
