I don't think you're being criticized for how you choose to spend your time. It's certainly an interesting coding project to try and do. I've been very impressed with your ability. For instance discussing the Latex templates you made and your updates to the website. Please don't think this is a personal beef with you, or dismissive of your talents. Your original post to the list on this topic was to solicit collaboration from other Org users regarding making an LSP server for Org, and that's where the disagreement comes from. Clearly there are strong opinions over the direction, degrees of freedom, and potential misuse of LSP as a technology. The issue regarding MS's involvement in the LSP standard isn't your problem, nor under your control. I'd suggest you just accidentally stepped into "it". You clearly have valid reasons to like LSP, and I admire many of the goals as well. I (and others) appear to disagree with the LSP project implementation. >From my other email, I see this thread as discussing whether the Emacs community supports spending time on competing technologies, or whether that time is better focused on improving Emacs and Org. I think the criticism has been to the effect that there are a variety of reasons not to support spending community time on competing technologies like LSP without significant consideration. That additional consideration is likely larger than us both, and could up being a project level governance concern and even a legal concern. In summary I'm positive over you doing a proof of concept code to satisfy yourself, but I share the concerns over it being a larger project. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams rlad...@adamsinfoserv.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
