But, Björn! Can't you see? We, are not coming "... up with something that is already there?". We are however doing new exciting things never done before :) see? it's fun. For whatever it's worth or where ever it goes, the warm fuzzies are definitely worth the dirty looks from the crowd, me? I feed off both sides of the line ;)
<i>Read the description</i> from the link you provided:
http://ez.no/community/blog/a_new_mailing_list From the above link: <i>The svn commit messages have been moved to the list sdk-svn@lists.ez.no. The public-sdk list will from now on be used for development discussions only.</i> The lists you say we are copying or duplicating, ripping off are for eZ publish developers and svn commit messages. In other words, for the people writing, refining and expanding eZ publish, people with commit access to the repository. I'm figuring the members of the public-sdk list are some of the most knowledgeable eZ publish developers who are paid to work on eZ publish for a living, who are there working on eZ publish development, not providing support for eZ publish users or developers just starting to try to get a grasp on using eZ publish. <b>eZUsers</b> : Aimed at the vast majority of eZ publish users, who need help with things like templating, installation, etc. <b>eZDevelopers</b> : Aimed at developers of all shapes and sizes, who are going beyond the default install of eZ publish. More than simple customization, it is intended to be a little bit more hard core and code related

http://www.ezpublishforums.com/mailman/listinfo/ezdeveloper It's sad that you don't really understand the motivation behind people like us who see things just like you, only just a little different. I mean if I was to turn the question back around to you Björn. You were one of the first to really commit a lot of code to pubsvn and post the contributions without packages just links to the pubsvn.ez.no repositories. Some could have said that you were duplicating efforts by not using the contributions directly (some did, not me :), still they would be guilty of not understanding you and the reasons to why it was so smart to do what you were doing the way you were doing. Björn, we need smart people with advanced experience in all things eZ publish, to chime in with hints from your experiences as you have time, on topics where some of us are lost, need a hint, as we look for that one tidbit of information we are missing and desperately need to be able to pull ourselves up from crawling on the ground and get us running on our own in the right direction. You should join our little club ...
<b>Bottom Line</b>
Most f/oss projects have lots of very active mailing lists, forums, web sites, user group sites and more from a lot of different sources. I'm continuing to open up the playing field to bring eZ publish solutions from existing users into the hands of brand new users, <i>it's a good thing</i>. Most open source projects have so much information available about their project that you only need to read other peoples posted information to find the answer you couldn't figure out on your own. Most people rely on the availability of solutions discovered by others, when trying to use a project in their own work. If they can't find those answers on their own they will often go find a project that either works out of the box the way they want or has those answers available.
<b>Case in point</b>
A lot of people want to use eZ publish (<i>really bad</i>), but can't because they can't find the answers they need to do so. If they are anything like me (experience shows they are..) they can't afford to pay eZ systems for support just to have their questions answered or pay someone to help show them how they can achieve their goals. Still, I think it's great that at least one person is willing to stand up and say something, so I sure hope you don't take it as all bad...I still think ya'll are cool'er than me, definitely smarter <grin>
cheers,
