Hi Marc,

sarcasm and communication in written from doesn't get along well.

I don't understand why you think this wasn't constructive or why it is
not a collecial advice.

Yet another one! Why?

Everyone setting up their own drupal site is /not/ collaboration. That
is everything doing his/her own thing.

If you cannot give an explanation, why there are 4 drupal sites
necessary, why it would make sense to use four different sites, I
stick with my opinion: It is a waste of efforts and time.

I really don't get the point of all this. I clearly understand the
motivation behind Eirch's site (i.e. a site where people can get shell
access to install plugins, stuff, etc). But again: Why so many others?

And yes, despite 13 drupal people working on it, the basic
functionality is not usable. So 3 Month isn't that much if in one
month there isn't even a usable editor component!

Well, sorry for being the asshole here, but I wrote about the basics
so many times and it is very frustrating that despite so many people
working on it, the results still lack that basic functionality.
Instead people come with new ideas (what is perfectly fine), but
instead of improving what is already there, implementing those new
ideas in an existing site, just create another copy that then has to
be configured from scratch again, they create a new site that suffers
from all those annoyances that have been mentioned over and over and
over and over and over again.

ciao
Christian
