Rebuttals are welcome. ;-)
Rebut what? If something is true then if possible we fix the problem. If false then that
is water on a duck's back.
With that said, there is value with reading what others say.
1. When asked or challenged, we should admit we went through a rough time with the tqt
transition. That did not go well. Things broke. Occasionally we still find problems
associated with that transition. Such is life with software. Anybody who tried Trinity
during that transition unlikely will be convinced the software is now stable and
responsive. We live with that.
2. Regarding the statement about "international team of developers." Do we
claim that anywhere in the software? What about the web site or wiki? Although the claim
is true, such statements portray a large number of people and we should not convey such
claims. We barely survive with the few people we have.
Well our developer base is international ;)
3. How many people use Trinity? I haven't a clue
and I doubt anybody does. Is the user base tens of thousands of users? Thousands?
Hundreds? Dozens? One dozen? My point is we are a small project. We should not get
involved in the whirlwinds of debate. Just quietly mind our own business. People will
always think what they want. The only way people will pay attention to us in a positive
light is to release quality products. To that end we focus. 3.5.13.1 is out. Onward with
R14. :)
Though I would like to know this... how many users do we see pulling
from our repositories?
