Last week TiMax the envolution pm resigned... The assets of the project was given to Zoom ad interim and then to = ApathyBoy the new envolution pm... I completely respect this. They all are the co-founders of the = envolution project (plus madhatter not mentioned above)... Some deseases on the envolution.com and the envolution network were = reported in the change of servers and account and sincerely (even if for = someone in a programmers community is totally unacceptable!) I = understand also this cause nobody knows what heck each of us has to do = in his life... Now all the old site resources and forums are restored... What defenitively LACKS is the developers community!!! I recently entered in the envolution development team and openitalia = staff (the international and the italian communities of envolution = developers)... I partecipate a little in some of the 1.2 improvements = that were out in the 1.25FLS release... I was interested to improve the = overall performances and give envo a full w3c standard compliance (in = particular xhtml and css) and a better output code... I was added as = co-author (with the original author TiMax) of the Michelangelo theme set = as default theme in the 1.25FLS release... Now I don't figure anymore in the envolution development team... Nobody asked me what were I doing in the project neither if I was = interested in continuing the development... if I have some suggestion... = if I am... I spent a lot of my rare free time in trying to see if someone in this = damned mailing list give an orientation to the devteam and the future of = the project... but this ML seems to be a speaker's corner in Hide = Park... all topics are allowed, like flames, but the envolution future and = developement... maybe because there's nothing to discuss about... a = roadmap was already imposed... the developers team doesn't exist = anymore... all other questions are demanded to a big IRC war... I won't partecipate to the IRC meeting: 1st - cause I don't linke IRC... as a professional I don't have time for = chat 2nd - as I experienced chat discussion don't have head and footer and = are absolutely inadeguate for discussing about a project which means = ponderate different proposal, re-discuss self ideas and positions... .... When I joined the envolution project I made a bet cause I really have = few resouces to dedicate in it but I was sure that the community will = have appreciated my modest help... I was wondered why Apathyboy and Madhatter who wrote a critical part of = the envolution code (envrender and encompass) didn't partecipate anymore = at the developement... Now they're back!!! I don't care what happened before (cause they left) and what's happening = now between the co-founders but this should not affect the Project... This is my point of view... maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong... but = surely nobody will care my words... defenitively I'm a ghost!!! Best regards=20 @ngelspike - Umberto Maria Malandrucco PhD |
