Since Holger prefer posting privately but permits me to treat it 
non-private, I hereby share with the list: I might have comments on it, 
but others might too - even if unimportant, it truely isn't _personal_  
stuff being discussed, so should IMO be kept shared among all fellow 
Sugar developers.

Hi,

again private, as I dont see much value for the list (anymore).

I cannot force you or any other volunteer to do anything. If you have (had) 
other priorities for that evening, (IMHO) you shouldnt let other people make 
you reorganize your day. That activity was broken (though less) before, and 
you didnt break it (further) so you have even less obligation to fix it - 
esp. not immediatly.

That said, I also know how peer pressure, etc. works - and with the above 
somewhat blunt statement I wanted to remind you, that you are here 
voluntarily and on your terms.

Yes. What I ment, was that an occasional breakage is ok. For that evening it 
would have certainly be fine :-)

I fully agree with that and next two paragraphs quoted lines below. What I 
ment was, more like "taking over this specific job (fix that activitiy now) 
for the moment." I was not thinking (at all) of "taking over as in taking 
away."

That I dont want. I think we should use a common packaging style for all sugar 
packages.


regards,
