It's not about Github necessarily, it's about the response tone etc. You made a blog post, saying how small is the team and how much work you all do. Now, a person says "I'd like to suggest" and your reply is basically "f*** off".
Don't misguide yourself by interpreting that X is saying "fuck off" because of a very short answer that didn't say or suppose that, just ask for a bit more of argument. You haven't asked for more besides this mail who's full of anger. I don't blame you and I understand your path to this judgment but it won't help the situation. I too didn't have responses for a long time in some emails that I sent but at some point I get a response. Why is this so long ? Well not all free/libre software developers are on the project 24/7 a lot of them are benevolent and have their own job next to it. Like you, you probably have other activities than just working on image editing software. I wrote 2 emails saying I can help with build infra, which
is listed as a need in YOUR blog post. I got no reply. Apparently, I have to bring sacrifices and wait until the moon is in right shape. You are forgetting that there are loads of teams out there doing open source development. About your 3 cases of not responding - it's not my problem. It's your problem, as a maintainer of OSS. If you seriously imply that Github is not more useful as a service than git.gnome.org, than I'm safe in betting you are writing code in vi or something. Every time something like this comes up there is always tha same mantra about GIMP being so unique and unimaginably cool piece of software that it grants you the right to do whatever you want. You know, emulating Linus only works if you wrote Linux. There is plethora of other image editors, I can't see why I should not help someone else who knows better than behaving like a jerk. 2017-05-07 13:53 GMT+02:00 Alexandre Prokoudine <alexandre prokoudine gmail com>:There are currently 216 forks of it. Have you _personally_ studied them at any length? Well, _I_ have. Last November or so I actually sat down and went through all the forks with actual changes created in the past 2-3 years. Out of those ca. 200 forks only a handful had actual changes to look at. And there was pretty much nothing to gain from those few.Oh, and for the record, in 2 or 3 cases when changes looked vaguely interesting, I actually tried contacting those developers. Noone ever got back to me. Can you see non-responsive people being a vital part of a successful community? Because I can't.
