Well, I simply opened the list archives at
http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.incubator.ooo-dev then
searched for "api list moderators" and clicked on the first (oldest)
result. This is very easy.
apparently harmless updates Kay proposed --
and was already implementing -- had been vetoed for undocumented reasons by
unknown voices in a secret venue. Doesn't sound like the Apache Way.
Very exaggerated tones. Just go back to see that Kay posted the first
message (and this was a mistake, promptly rectified) to both the dev and
private list. People answered where they happened to read the message
first. By the way, I had suggested on this list to remove the names (for
no other reasons that the list is simply unmaintainable as it is now,
and an outdated list serves no purpose). There were no vetoes or any
other bad or secret behavior. Simply, the issue is very minor, regarded
by almost everybody as minor and it's better to go for the most
maintainable solution. I proposed an approach that still allows to see
the moderators' names in real time, while not imposing to us the burden
to update a static web page every time a change is done. The Apache Way
is always honored at OpenOffice.
It begs the question why that reaction happened.
I for sure would have dismissed the issue saying that it is useless work
to maintain a separate list. And nothing else.
long discussions which could just as well be public. I am convinced that
the PMC is NOT doing this on purpose, but simply because they forget.
That is a sane approach to the issue. Yes, I will answer to the thread
wherever it is. This particular discussion was for no reason sent to
both dev and private and I replied to it here and there.
Without disclosing content here are some interesting numbers:
private@aoo compared to dev@aoo
March: 53 on private@, 93 on dev@
Feb: 347 on private@, 400 on dev@
Jan: 111 on private@, 542 on dev@
I'll answer this in the new thread, but people who are always assuming
we have fantastic secrets to discuss on the private list would be very
amused (except conspiracy theorists, who would be disappointed) if they
saw the real messages!
Regards,
Andrea.
