So seriously, we're going to send now 4 emails talking about what a user of Apache Cassandra and possible community member could have done right or better or sooner, or that there is no time limit to moderating shit when it could have been as simple as literally sending a confirmation email to moderate it through? This is the definition of process over community. And it's the definition (wrongly so) of why people think it's "Apache" that induces the processes that make shit hard, and not the community itself. Seriously this is a joke. So what if she didn't do it right the first time. You think potentially moderating her mail through and then sending a kind email suggesting she look at the instructions for how to subscribe, which oh someone may not have found easy to do or simply not understood that simply sending an email to the list wouldn't have made it go through the first time? Is it that hard to figure out? Really?
This is the definition of making things hard and not making them easy or friendly. And this is also exactly what enables people to sound off on Twitter about a project, and loses the conversation that could have been had on Apache mailing lists. Kelly has been tweeting for days. I saw her tweets retweeted by someone in my feed, and yesterday asked her kindly to bring her conversation to the list. 12 hours later it's still in moderation, and we are arguing whether to f'ing moderate it through. Wow. Great job.
