Manuel, Please remember that helping out on php-bugs is a volunteer effort, nobody pays Derick for his hard work. (and there are alot of people who are very grateful, for his considerable contributions.), However, as I realized answering bug reports is not always a job filled with rewards and thanks... so please give Derick a bit of lee-way, for his off the cuff comments, he has worked extremely hard and has definatly deserved the right to make them..

It seems that you are not fully aware of the facts. Nobody denied credit of Derick or anybody at php-qa. I just pointed that their efforts, while valuable, they are insufficient and because of that I made a suggestion to increase significantly the number of volunteers to help in the task of handling bug reports. Oddly he rejected the idea. Ok, if he is not interested in effective additional help from substantially more volunteers, that is his problem then. Maybe he just wants the credit all for himself, maybe that is not the case, but it certainly suggests that. Anyway, sorry for having tried to help. :-( -- Regards, Manuel Lemos >> On 09/24/2002 10:19 AM, derick@php.net wrote: >> >>>> However, then Derick Rethans and his php-qa friends >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Atleast I got some real friends through PHP. >> >> >> >> Too bad your real friends could not stop the ever growing PHP bug rate. >> >> You need substantially more new friends and if you fail to provide >> real motivation you hardly get anywhere further from where you are. >> >> I tried to provide a suggestion that works on appealing for the >> contribution of many more people to work for free on projects that >> otherwise they would not bother to participate. >> >> If you do not want to take up the suggestion, it will remain your >> problem to keep up with huge PHP bug list.
