Just to get the appropriate opinion ratio of people around: I usually don't
agree with Pawel's opinions/decisions.

Fixed according to request to similiar sentence by Pawel in some of our private
mail:
        "Pawel is doing the maintaining good in Pavel's opinion."

For example Pawel is in my opinion really the worst maintainer I've ever seen
in any of the opensource projects I met (and it was a big number of projects
I got involved during the years, either passively or even many times actively).

I am rating here just his cooperation and communicaton with anyone around
Gnokii (both the developers and users on the mailing list). I don't touch here
his coding skills in any way.


Anyway I was here loosing my time too long for now so I am going to unsubscribe
(for the second time...). I'll use the absolutely perfect quotation from Pavel
Janik: "I prefer to spend my time on things which are useful for the community."

All my past *Gnokii patches can be found on:

        http://short.vellum.cz/priv/gnokii/

There are two recent not yet applied myGnokii-derived sets of patches - READMEs
included for both of them. I've sent an e-mail regarding one of their part
(uClinux-compatibility) yesterday and nobody seems to be interested anyway.

There is also the old one (from November) Gnokii-derived patch which is
currently no longer applicable at all due to heavy patch conflicts.
Described in:
        http://www.roads.lut.ac.uk/lists/gnokii/2001/11/0078.html

I hope Marcin Wiacek gets more developers involved in his forked project.
