Re: Building a new home for GPE

Hi Florian,

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I agree with your comment about the hosting platform.
However:
  - how has hh.org not offered this freedom?
  - if there were problems why couldn't they be resolved rather than
     attempting to move/fork the project?

I have previously read the post you linked, however, it does not answer
my questions.

Now that I've had a quick browse of ltg, I am reminded of a lengthy
argument on admin@ (etc) regarding Koen. It seems conceivable that the
idea of moving GPE has been precipitated by that event, and I find it
disturbing that similarly emotive attitudes have been used in this thread
to enable what appears to be a hijack of a major project and its sub-
projects from it current host. These techniques and attitudes do not
fill me with confidence or exude the freedom you speak of.

Excuse me for my ignorance, I merely wish to understand, not offend.

Marcus.
