the "local authority" waits that I very want to place my code to their repository, so I must listen their instruction and obey without a word even know their are wrong. :)This is normal ... when you are not the "local authority". I actually like it. It is usually called team work.
+1000! very well said Emanoil :clap: :clap:The first rule of contributing to any project (open source or not) is to understand how the project operates, how it is managed and what the rules are.
Second rule is to adhere to those rules and cooperate with good etiquette with the project team and community.
Do you know how many bugs I have fixed... http://oscada.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/User:RomanSavochenko/Open_Source_Actions
Preparing a "fix" means: 1. investigating the issue and understanding the root cause of the problem 2. modifying the code to fix such root issue Preparing a "hack" means: 1. not understanding the root cause of a problem 2. modifying the code to hide the problem In TDE we have no problems to accept "fixes", as many of our contributors have experienced.But we do have a problem with "hacks": we would rather have a program to keep crashing to show that there is a problem than hiding the problem away. Because once you start hiding things, the code will grow more and more like the "Leaning Tower of Pisa" and sooner or later it will become unstable and you don't even know why.

We all do this in our spare time, out of passion and totally for free.
Are we perfect? No. Do we make mistakes? Absolutely.We can't please all, we do our best effort. We try to listen to all people and when we have to make a choice, we try to do it in the interest of the project and its community. Because a project without a community is a dead project. We don't mind hearing constructive criticism, but gratuitous attacks when a patch is not accepted is not going to achieve anything.
