My ideal world is one in which the people who currently consider themselves 'Translators' are no longer saying 'we can't do that because...' and instead learning the skills, which in this case includes both communication and technical skills,
No way.
You can't have that.
Fine, Carlos, I would normally send this message in private but as our private correspondence seems likely to end up public, let me put this to you very clearly If that is your attitude, then I recommend, no, I actively, strongly, request, that you cease all contribution, activity, and involvement with the openSUSE Project There is no point flogging a dead horse, and if you honestly believe that there is no way you or others like you will ever learn new skills or processes, then there really is nothing more to discuss But if you want to understand my logic behind this request, let me point out a few other facts You model yourself as a contributor who primarily supports users on the forums and translates for openSUSE On the support forums, you were recently banned for repeatedly inciting and engaging in unproductive debates and arguing with moderators, much like you are doing here. On the matter of translations, you clearly consider it important for you, but at the same time you declare the situation with Tumbleweed impossible and are unable or unwilling to consider any options on how to improve the situation and expect others to deliver it for you - when objecting to what others suggest to help improve the situation. Considering your conduct on these lists more generally, there are times where I feel forced, for the sake of my own sanity, to filter out and actively ignore every thread or post you are involved in, and just hope that the situation in those threads doesn't get too bad for me to be considered derelict in my duty as a Board Member of the Project. In those weeks that I am ignoring your posts, they are often some of my most productive - it's certainly better for my sanity & my contributions to the Project to spend more time dealing with issues other than lengthy debates with you on the mailinglists. From speaking to other contributors, I know I am not alone with that approach, indeed I suspect I am somewhat more moderate as such filtering is not a permanent arrangement. In short, you don't support people on the forums, you don't translate (or at least, you don't translate in a way which the openSUSE distributions benefit), and you generate enough noise on the mailinglists that I often feel forced to turn a blind eye to every post you make for a while in order to maintain my enthusiasm for working on the project. So please, just go elsewhere. These endless debates waste your time, my time, and the time of everyone who reads it And some of us have work we'd much rather be doing. - Richard Brown openSUSE en_GB Translator-In-Training -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org
