For those of you who don't know...that certain somebody is me. :( Sorry Sergey. I'll be sure to explicitely ask you in the future about wiki articles that I stole from your emails. I'll will re-word your words when I don't quote you. Just so you know, when I re-word things, I typically add incorrect information. So please bear with me, because re-wording things means I'll get stuff wrong, which means more edits, which means me documenting less things and being generally less helpful to the Hurd project. BUT I don't want our developers annoyed at our hurd documentor. I want the Hurd to be a fun place for developers to come, so I'll abide by your wishes. #stillFriendsRight? > Not because of licensing or copyright, but just > because the way I write emails is tailored to that medium (and to the > specific discussion / email thread); I would have written things > differently if I was writing a wiki page or a news item, so it sounds > "off" to me.
