About MC1.5 here is what I received as a private email. So I imagine that the person is a bit too negative too but you can understand that we pay attention and need time to ***really*** look at it.
I hope you don't include Monticello 1.5 in Pharo. All code that we have seen so far from Keith cases trouble. I have nothing to support this except the people reporting problems with Monticello 1.5.

You still dont get it do you. *** really look at it *** means pick over the carcass. Adopting it means JOINING IN AND MAKING EVERYTHING BETTER FOR EVERY ONE. You guys have the expertise to fix things I dont, and test things that I dont. I dont have the skill to meet your high coding standards. I am working on comercial projects and I need something that WORKS not something that looks pretty. I used a code formatter for 6 years, so when I see code I dont see that it needs formatting. It looks ok to me. If you adopt it, then your whole team of testers and experts get to contribute, and everyone benefits. The reason I am causing trouble, and raising my voice is not that you wont use my stuff, its that you will not participate in any collaborative attitude AT ALL. Monticello IS NOT YOUR PROJECT, it is EVERYONES. It is the PEOPLES MONTICELLO. Your approach is killing that vision, and taking NEEDED (according to you private emailer) expertise away from that vision. Keith p.s. It doesnt matter if the code is crap, un-formatted crap. It cant possibly be worse than MC1.0 and the amount of cruft I refactored.
