I think the clincher was the URL I posted for a new bug tracking system, it was somethign i felt comfortable sharing becasue I trust teh SCP coders, and i wanted an opinion before I set up a trial one for you guys.
But I would not have posted it here in general, for anyone to look thru, sorry, expediency mandated the best way to get the teams opinion was to post an example.
The team also expressed a sincere desire to have a place to work. The ideas are still here, but we got so many "I am not a coder, but..." opinions on the code oriented threads it became difficult ot sort the signal fro mthe noise.
It's been mandated that everyone post out here though, feature additions, requests, etc. If we fail to do that, then the private forum will be made publically readable. If it ever becomes readable, we will probably more vigourasly moderate this forum though, to mitigate any threads spawning because someone doesn't undertand something.
CVS is great for keeping an eye on things, the discussion here in the public forum is a good place to get information, but we needed a place to ask "did somoene forget to check in file x?" without getting distracted.
Sorry. Give it time. Don;t assume we're jerks. Give us a bit of a break and see if we hold up our end of the bargain on the posting. We had a mailing list, none of you knew about, very little got talked about there that wasn't directly technical and generally uninteresting. If something gets sparked in the private forum that should be in general, I asked the HLP guys to police us and help us make sure it gets dumped in the right place.
As for post counts, some of the more technical posts got moved for reference, we can move a copy of those back here for your reference.
