[Gvsig_english] Query on why gvSIG CE came about

[Nacho Uve]

Hi,

There are some substantial differences between all initiatives you
mentioned. AFAIK, none of them has the characteristics, intentions and
actions performed in parallel like CE propose to do.

In my HUMBLE opinion, CE is not integrating contributors for gvSIG project.
Noting the progress of the initiative, CE don't want participate and follow
some simple rules of gvSIG (documentation, check patches for core-developers
(soon... maintainer and reviewers), user gvSIG-devel-list to coordinate
changes, etc...) and decide on a personal and totally independent way about
the future of the software. So, it is a fork.

I insist. There are no reason for a fork in the way gvSIG is open to change
things, improve procedures, etc... The use of English is not an excuse. Here
we are talking in English (in my case, trying to speak in english  :P ).

Having said that, I find only one sense to CE inside gvSIG project. It is
think about CE like a group of people with freedom and independence,
auto-organization, etc.. who develop components (such NavTable...), work
together on some aspects (GUI, usability, fixing bugs),  proposing changes,
etc... After that they communicate all that to gvSIG project and try to
integrating that.

So, please... If the CE really intends to integrate resources and
collaborate with gvSIG, it should share tools (mailing lists,
bug-tracker, etc.),
make direct proposals for changes, work together, etc. That's the way...

Please, think about it.

 :-)

Regards!!!
Nacho V.
