There were a lot of reasons for and against doing this. This has been deb=
ated
on this list with a majority in favour of the move (although a lot of peo=
ple
have not voiced any opinions). I see no need in reviving the old flame-wa=

over this. Further IMHO it is still the choice of the main developers and=

projects admins to choose where they are hosted. GPE has been hosted for =
years
on handhelds, for which the project is grateful, but this does not make i=
t
handhelds.org property.

AFAIK Florian has tried to be reasonable and I do not remember any demand=

made. And personal attacks don't help anybody.

He did not state that, however he has expressed some reservations about h=

you have been handling this situation. And honestly after such a reply I =
can
understand some of the points he brought up.

I rather saw attacks on linuxtogo than on handhelds. However the main arg=
ument
 for the move to linuxtogo was increased organisational flexibility, and =
I
have seen no debating from handhelds,org on that side. The reaction on th=
e
move (as Florian stated, without attacking you in person IMO) and this re=
ply
however seem to indicate that moving was a good decision.

I am so disappointed this whole moving thing has not been handled in a mo=
re
adult way. Anyway I believe that the main development will now happen on
gpe.linuxtogo.org and as I want to keep GPE moving that means I will usin=
g the
SVN there from now on. This does not mean either I will turn my back on
handhelds.org as I really care less about the ego of people, than trying =
to
get Gnu/Linux moving forward on embedded platforms.
