Initially, I was going to flag this post. However, the link sets the context for what could be an interesting discussion.
What is the proper way to handle releasing open source projects? Does having a flippant, almost combative, attitude help project development? Granted, I would have preferred a blog post analysis rather with link to this flamewar as part of its evidence. Nevertheless, it could spawn a good conversation, as long as it doesn't turn to a flamewar on HN.
- jacquesm 16y agoThe right attitude to this sort of thing is simple, treat your open source users as you would your customers in a commercial setting. The fact that the source is open does not mean the general rules of conduct change. A professional attitude coupled with quality stuff is what will get you contributions and respect.
