> Any way, two of three people have just wasted their time writing code When I first imagined this project, I didn't picture it taking all day, from start to finish. An uninstaller doesn't do much. > The way it works currently, people will tend to see it as your project. Hm. Hold on. https://github.com/ComputerCOP-OpenRemover/ComputerCOP-OpenRemover https://github.com/ComputerCOP-OpenRemover/ComputerCOP-OpenR... Yes? > It wouldn't be a problem be there a big name or much publicity associated with that My end goal is for my local police department to pass this uninstaller out to citizens, in a similar manner to how they passed out the installer. That will never happen without the support of a big name. I'm hoping the EFF will take an interest (I've already put my name on their volunteer list some time ago). > humans don't enjoy the idea of being given orders from [random] people. Your requirements sure looked that way, though. ...I'm sorry. :( I'll look back over the README for use of the imperative voice. ...Honestly, I've heard this feedback once or twice before AFK and I wasn't sure how to change then, either. Thank you for your candid feedback, goblin89.

That's part of the problem: drilling the problem down to atomic subtasks, which is needed to estimate, is the actual hard part. With that part done it would take little effort to complete the project, and contributors for further improvement would be easy to find. > https://github.com/ComputerCOP-OpenRemover/ComputerCOP-OpenR.. https://github.com/ComputerCOP-OpenRemover/ComputerCOP-OpenR.... That's better, but “Forked from…” small print doesn't escape anyone's attention, and in any case this issue goes beyond GitHub service. You'd be a ‘founder’ of something without having done much for it (keep in mind I wrote my comment before you added remover.go, and also I might be wrong about this whole point too). Sorry for calling you a random person, I was just trying to explain what I felt when I opened the repo and took a look at it.
