About which part?
The original poster wasn't looking for positive answers. He seemed to be looking for a fight because his framework of choice was changing in ways he didn't like.
Did he raise some valid points. Sure. It got me thinking about the vision of the framework, which I've never sat down and defined. It's something we should all probably discuss (in a different thread of course).
I hadn't paid too much attention to CI3, honestly, since I saw that Narf would come back in every few weeks and keep it going. I don't have time to maintain all of the things, so I've posted on the forums this morning asking for a couple of new bodies to help out with the CI3 repo and keep it alive.
Signing was a requirement that Jim had put in place. I've overridden it numerous times in the past. We could probably look at removing that, though it does provide some protections against malicious commits (super rare from my experience anyway).
Admin emails - I always forget to check that since it's not setup great at the moment. I've tried getting my mail client to check it in the past and ran into blockers. I need to get that fixed so I'll actually see those. Just put it on my todo list.
New website has been in the works for a while. PaulD was leading some people on that before he left. It's making slow progress still but not nearly as active as before.
To be honest, Jim was the leader. That was a position I never really wanted to be in, but now find myself in, and have been struggling a bit with the transition. I'll admit that. I just wanted to help modernize the code base lol. I'm starting to try and pull more people into active positions to help out on all fronts because I simply don't have the bandwidth for it all right now. It's a bit overwhelming at times, when combined the rest of life, but I'm trying. Please bear with me. And everyone please feel free to step up and become more involved. That's how we succeed in open source without any business backing us.
