<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Gerhard said in his
message that he was writing a module to do this. We suffer from a terminal
lack of volunteers willing to do work of any type. So some things get more
attention when those willing and able have the time to do so. Only in
December did the complete infrastructure of Drupal.org finally get moved.
This infrastructure change itself is what has made it possible to even have this
happen and took a few people a lot of man hours of work to
accomplish.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>These things take time.
They take human beings real hours and real days to do. No one is
trying to 'insult' you and I had to count to 10 a few times at your
presumption that anyone was before I composed this message.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>To be clear: NO ONE IS DELIBERATELY
GETTING IN YOUR WAY!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using buzz word compliant terms like
'win/win' without offers to work/work/collaborate doesn't help. Especially
when nowhere in that polite message back to you did anyone tell you to go <FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>&^%$ yourself. Using such inflammatory
phrasing is an Internet troll trick to create a problem or pick a fight
while portraying yourself as the victim.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Gerhard informed you in his polite message that he was
working on this so obviously he cares, yet you launched into your diatribe
anyway.</DIV>

<DIV>This is exactly the kind of response that leaves me wondering.....<BR>im
just trying to get into the contributions.<BR>i can login via eclipse
anonymously no problem.<BR>this raises a much bigger issue.<BR>.<BR>It works
like this for me.. ive got x % of time to donate to the "drupal cause".<BR>so
far for me 60% of x has been spent in frustration due to no cvs access, poor
themeing structure and loose organizational support of design in the drupal
community?<BR>how much can I endure, before ive become worn and jaded to whats
really possible here?? (how many before me have just walked away after
confronting such difficulty?)<BR>i feel like the type of contributions someone
like me (a designer) can make is <U>drastically </U>limited because of the extra
hoops I have to jump through. just to contribute..aka(volunteer)? im growing
weary of trying so hard... <BR>Its insulting and further incentive to use other
tools that manifest a more win/win (timesaving)approach vs. the standard drupal
approach that ive observed...."make it really hard, really really hard to
contribute.... and if youre a designer.... well just go &^%$ yourself... and
go away" (or be prepared to donate a vast amount of time to do something that
other orgs have automated and appear to care more about.<BR><BR>i like drupal. i
want to help...<BR>but i can only "tread water"(keep it up) for so long while
the system thats currently in place serves to suppress my motivation.<BR>Isnt
there anyone in the Drupal Core team who "champions" the need for good
design?<BR>will this ever be addressed?<BR>Does anyone even care?<BR>sorry for
the gurmbles! but this needs to be
said.......<BR><BR><BR>-Isaac<BR><BR><BR><BR>Gerhard Killesreiter wrote:
