Re: [Evolution] downloads page

Hi :)
I do remember it well.  I was wondering if you did. 

The line that stuck with me was "The team's manpower is still severely limited " and i foolishly thought that was something you were keen to change.  The question would then be "how do we increase the teams 'man'power".  However it is becoming clearer and clearer that the opposite is true.   This project seems keen to exclude outsider and make sure that new people are discouraged from taking part. 

Regards from
Tom :)

Check the mailing list archives if you want to know why.

Always, as with every FLOSS project.

No.

That's a loaded question, like "How often do you beat your wife?".
You already assume that "more normal users are not able to help users".
I don't share that initial assumption.
