I guess Tshepang meant "kind" = "hand holding". The burden of learning such basics lies with the contributor. Lack of such due diligence is not so welcomed. Although Sandro made a very terse explanation from a point of view of normal life, I consider his effort to be very informative one. I consider this to be "kind" but "terse". > from a guy (co)maintaining 22 packages in main you could expect more > than that. and where was rudeness? should I add flowers and kisses to > emails? Maybe Sandro did not need some "sarcasm" in his reply but I fully understand his feeling and I support him ... I think here is a typical gap of expectation around Debian. In order to reduce this kind of tension, I recently added few reminders in mant-guide as "Social dynamics of Debian". http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/start.en.html#socialdynamics Friendly cooperation is the driving force. * Your contribution should not overstrain others. * Your contribution is valuable only when others appreciate it. Debian is not your school where you get automatic attention of teachers. * You should be able to learn many things by yourself. * Attention from other volunteers is a very scarce resource. ....
