Hostile takeover of Open Source Project TWiki

He also forgets that a project does not exist unless it has users. Saying "if you didn't contribute, you have no right to complain" puts him in such a bad light I can't believe he said it, but that is what he appears to be saying, loud and clear.

We all contribute somewhere, somehow, on some project, even if it is just evangelism, helping someone somewhere, whatever... I used to use TWiki a long time ago (2000/2001) and advocated it quite heavily in my then-workplace.

The more I read about this sordid story the more disgusted I feel; rarely has any recent story upset me so much. Maybe it's because of the feeling of some sort of trust having been broken.

At my current workplace I know of at least one internal Wiki that uses TWiki; I'll be sure to let them know to switch as soon as the main version (not the one-person-fork called twiki.net) has a proper name and address.
