There’s a mailing list thread going on, discussing some proposals for modifications and POCO contributing process. This discussion occasionally turns heated and there is a lot of misinterpretation and misunderstanding going on, which has prompted me to summarize the contributing issues/concerns and post them in one place as a clarification for all the folks who […]

Now that I’m sick and tired of this big and ugly whatever named Tiki, I’d like to […]
