Please take a number. by rcweir Parent article: A discordant symphony It doesn't matter if he's a programmer or not, and your inherent bias there is ridiculous. Per Corbet, he's (an? the?) official spokesperson for the project, to wit: The specific suspect in question is Italo Vignoli, a director of the Document Foundation and spokesperson for the LibreOffice project. Stop wasting time arguing with me. The fact that you're still replying to me, instead of just fixing it, is yet more proof that you want to sling words and do your damndest to slow down the competition, not help the open source community. You're only interested in helping if people line up and do exactly what you say, in exactly the way you say it, which means you don't really want to help at all, you're looking for excuses not to. ("They're not programmers! They didn't ask on the right list! They're asking behind *gasp* a paywall!") All excuses, and all transparent bullshit.

This isn't complicated. If Italo wants something from Apache OpenOffice then he should ask for it on the Apache OpenOffice mailing list instead of bitching and moaning about it on the LibreOffice mailing list. Is that an unreasonable request? I'm not asking him to prostrate himself or anything. But if he honestly has a question, then take the question to those who might have an answer. If he wants help with something then take it to those who can help. If he is confused, then talk to those who can clarify. But by all means, if he just wants to spread FUD, then talk to Lwn.net.
