As always I will move on when the time has come.
For MultiWii it is not my decision - and definitely not yours either. If you have such a progressive mind (like ronco summarized earlier), then why do you not start your own next generation flight controller project and amaze us with the latest greatest next big thing?
Why should I? I think MultiWii is a great project and I think fragmentation is hurting open source.
And why beat a dead horse? I already told you I agree with you on the Java 1.5 front.
Up until now you have contributed only agitation.
I'd like to humbly disagree on that one.
I opened an inofficial IRC channel on FreeNode which helped a lot of people get their MWCs in the air and fostered a lot of fruitful discussion.
I am also contributing repository hosting and some coding (because time constraints) to the new Swing GUI.
I'd also like to call out ronco for his comments a bit.
He joined the IRC channel several times and agreed with us on many points only to come here and tell the project owner what he wants to hear.
That said I'd really like to commend Alex for how he handled the situation. He tried to keep it strictly technical and judged everything by its merits.
You on the other hand seem to be much more interested in politics at the moment.
Way to go.
yes, feel free.
You would like that, wouldn't you?
Look, you probably have contributed so much to the project that you don't like "outsiders" stirring things up.
Why not take it down a notch and try to discuss those things on a technical level?
P.S.: You're always welcome in the channel of course!
A lot of misunderstandings could've been avoided.
