Honnestly I don't understand: if people don't want to read about Vibuntu,
just delete any messages with Vibuntu on the subject line. It just seems
natural that if someone is starting a project which might be of interest for
some of us, he posts information about it on the mailing lists where he
thinks people are going to read about it. Come on, this is not any kind of
spam, and I don't see any bad intentions behind it. So as long as there
aren't thousands of Vibuntu information messages every day, why do we have
to argue about it? If Anthony posts this information on one of the lists
only, people who are on an other list and might be interested won't get it.
I know this sounds stupid and obvious, but not everyone is subscribed to
three, four or five mailing lists. Even from the point of view of an
extremely experienced user, I wouldn't be able to understand why we need to
hate Vibuntu so much. In the end it's an unaltered version of Ubuntu which
incorporates some of the changes that we all do to a new Ubuntu install
before using it. And wether I am very skilled or not, I preffer to disable
the authomatic login in Vibuntu than to configure Orca to read all those
apps etc etc. And if Anthony finally gets Vibuntu to ship with Alsa instead
of PulseAudio, and Speech-Dispatcher, why would I waste my time in
configuring it if there is a distribution that ships with it? I think we can
all help Vibuntu to be whatever we need it to be, and I think it can be
pretty useful to anyone.
Just my opinion, as always... I find this comunity is really great, but
sometimes it seems like we just can't get over the fact that some of us know
more about Linux than others, and have different needs than others etc.

I have been cross-posting because I presumed there would be some people who
are only subscribed to one list, like I was at first (Ubuntu)until someone
advised me to post on the Orca list, and then someone else asked me to
post
on Gnome, and since then someone has asked me to post on the Ally list as
well. Which list do people think it would be best to focus on: Ubuntu,
Orca
or Gnome. I suppose Ubuntu is the most relevant but there seems to be a
lot
more traffic on the other two lists, the Orca one particularly. Or is it
just
a few grumpy old men who disapprove of young whippersnappers like me
babbling
enthusiastically about their geekish obsessions? Can subscribers let me
know
what they think. The results will be based on a democratic vote, the
judges
decision is final, employees and relatives of employees are not entitled
to
enter!

Damn I just cross-posted again! Doh!

Anthony Sales napsal(a):
Sorry if I have annoyed anybody, as the project is very new I am still
trying to reach as wide an audience as possible.
Of course, I understand your motivation. However this doesn't change
anything.
I will try to limit any
announcements or developments to one a day from now on, excluding
answering individual queries that people may have!
Cross posting is a bad practice in any case. If you could at least choose
one mailing list, that would be significantly more considerate to the
others.
You can announce where you are moving Vibuntu discussions on the other
lists
so those who are interested will not miss it.
Thank you and best regards, Tomas
