Hi, Iâm writing this because Iâm sad about what is happening in this list. Iâm seeing a lot of general negativity and non constructive ways to discuss things. Iâm also seeing more and more people using Pharo for their particular interests (which is of course a good thing) but less and less people who contribute back to Pharo. Finally, Iâm seeing more frequently an attitude of âcustomerâ, more than the conviction than this, Pharo, is also yours⦠Please people, we (the pharo âcoreâ team) cannot do everything. We do not have the manpower or the resources to hire manpower. We would like, but we just do not have the resources (is already a blessing that we can work on this, for now: INRIA is paying, but what it pays is *research*, not âpharo the languageâ, so this is a collateral advantageâ¦.) So, having an OPEN SOURCE project, with limited resources means that there is a lot of things that depend on the community. It depends on the community not just to fix, but to enlarge the ecosystem in general too. So, I refuse to believe that we cannot be a cool and helpful community. I refuse to believe that general negativity and bad humor can overcome the joy of participating in this collective effort. So, here some recommendations for enhance the way we participate: - Be positive. Just âthis is a s**tâ does not help. Even if it is. - Be propositional. Just âthis is a s**tâ, and not telling what you want/prefer does not help. - Be proactive. Just âthis is a s**tâ, and not report, discuss and (at least time to time) provide a fix/enhancement does not help. In conclusion: not helping does not help :) After all, this is the âpharo-devâ list. I mean, the list of people wanting to participate from this great, community effort. cheers, Esteban, still grateful of belonging to this community
