Re: Web cvs

I am happy to sort things out. But it is high time that people stop 
just taking --- I do not think that the one line link is bad. I am 
seeing other sites put "please donate via paypal" and so on.

This is not final, but this is to make anyone who is complaining 
understand completly that the server is not a KDE server, KDE has NO 
RIGHT to make demands on how things are displayed, I can and will take 
my toys and go home.

KDE has a right to suggest, offer some support, offer an alternative, 
or realize that this is a 100% non-issue. This is not a university 
server, this is a private machine that over the years I have continued 
to update, and continued to make faster and better because of the 
continued increase in need by KDE (webcvs, anoncvs, web mirror, and ftp 
mirror). I have never complained about it, I have never ever shut it 
down, and we have had near 100% uptime.

Yet, it is unbelievable to me that I have had to read a tirade of 
emails demanding that I make the server "free" and demand that I take a 
1 line link off of the server. If this is the case than KDE needs to 
remove all of the links off of the contributions page. They are all 
advertisements.

It is open for discussion, but I did not see any discussion in any of 
the prior messages I just saw complaints.
