I would suggest to get back to a sensible discussion. There is no value
in ad-hominem attacks and insults, that just tends to disqualify the
person throwing them around.

As you dragged out the topic of openrepos, let me offer some
clarification, also as other people might wonder where this came from.

I am personally quite critical of openrepos for various reasons.
Foremost as it swings to the other end of the spectrum, offering no QA
and no verification as opposed to the rather strict submission process
of Harbour. Relying solely on ratings, comments, reputation.
They have recently reacted to my criticism and started introducing
changes/improvements. I applaud this. Still I am of the opinion that the
underlying concept is not well suited for wider adoption. The
intricacies do not fall under this topic, but I'll be happy to discuss
them elsewhere.
Last time I checked, I was living in a country where I am free to voice
my opinion and I intend to continue to do so.

On the other hand I'd like to point out that my initial mail in this
thread was attempting to summarize a *community* *round-table*, which
took place during FOSDEM and was attended by about 25 people.
Many people weighed in and arguments were made for *both* sides. In the
end the consensus was that openrepos is not suitable for a pure open
source app development community repository.

I'd appreciate if we could now let this sub-thread rest and get back to
the really urgent topic, that is figuring out how Jolla can support the
nascent open source app community around Sailfish.

Best regards

Thomas
