yes, I think it was the right decision from Patrick and Daniel to post
this on the list.
My right to post to the OpenSync mailing list was revoked, so I'm afraid
only people subscribed to the SyncEvolution mailing list will see my
replies in the "libsynthesis and vformats" thread.
I know that my mail was seen as causing harm to the OpenSync project by
at least one OpenSync developer, but that definitely wasn't the
intention and I only posted it publicly because Daniel, the project lead
(!), had asked me to.
I consider the ban from the OpenSync mailing list an act of extreme
unfriendliness and not in line with open source principles. I have a
guess who did that, but I'll stick to my word that I gave in a private
email exchange and won't name that person in public. If OpenSync is in
trouble (assuming that it is - make up your own mind), then it is not
because of anything that I have said or done.
