Hi all,
I’ve seen that the last post provoked some reactions, for which I thank you all.
I welcome Paul Bakker’s new “Product Manager” role in Servoy and wishes him the best for his difficult (yet essential) task. “working closely with the community”, this sounds good indeed!
I can assure everyone that I am totally willing to “work closely with Servoy”.
As another step again, I have started opening google-code projects for all my plugins and beans as a convenient way to access their sources using SVN (and submit patches, why not?), or even browse online (for the curious :), and for issue tracking/feature requests capabilities (you know you always want more ;-)
Right now you can find the sources of:
* the DnDFileBean http://code.google.c … -stuff-dndfile-bean/
* the keyListeners plugin http://code.google.c … keylisteners-plugin/
* the SVGBean http://code.google.c … ervoy-stuff-svgbean/
* the whois plugin http://code.google.c … -stuff-whois-plugin/
* the SliderBean http://code.google.c … -stuff-servoyslider/
* the DateChooserBean http://code.google.c … ff-datechooser-bean/
As for the busy plugin, it is already available:
http://code.google.c … /servoy-busy-plugin/ where Scott Butler opened it a while ago.
I have updated it this week-end to make it work with Servoy 5 and add a textColor property.
I’m using Mylyn in my Eclipe IDE and so automatically receive any bug report, feature requests, updates on issues right in my Task list, so you know that I will be notified quickly and that a task will be assigned to your issue.

I don’t agree with how Servoy moderates on their forum*

I didn’t write here for a while and I apologize: I have been so much occupied improving/fixing/documenting/testing/polishing my Browser Suite that I didn’t find the time and energy to write about it lately.
Still I’m here and I keep working on Servoy during the day, and doing my bit for the community during the evening (should I say the night?). And I keep looking in the Servoy forum for bits and pieces, tips and tricks, news and discussions.
Today I have read a post from David Workman from Data Mosaic, which was raising some serious questions and expressing some concerns about the state of the Servoy community and the attitude of Servoy towards it, with some sort of statistical proof to it. I thought that some of his points were fair enough and I was interesting in following this thread to learn what Servoy and other fellow developers would have to say in reaction to it.
So I was but little abashed to see that this post just simply disappeared!
I know this is not the first time, but it really annoys me to see that valid concerns from a developer who invested so much in Servoy and its community for years (indeed, he created a whole business aroung it!) would simply be dismissed in such a way. IMHO it just proves how valid some of David concerns can be related to Servoy management attitude towards us developers who are trying to work as partners with them.
So I decided to reproduce it here in full (thanks to google cache). I will simply say that I don’t always agree with David - especially when it comes to Mac and Java ;-) - but I think he expresses here some valid points that should not just disappear, so here it is - as it was written:
