#36: A complaint about conduct -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: templarian | Owner: bjensen Type: feedback | Status: assigned Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 13 Version: | Severity: Negative Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Comment (by kevin):
I think there are a few things we can learn from this. :)
First off, thanks for posting it, we can learn from negative as well as positive feedback.
So, what I think we can possibly take from this:
a) Calling other non packaged software "crap" or disparaging it should be avoided.
b) When someone gives bad advise, we should explain why it is so, not just say it's bad and not explain further. Then they will know why this isn't advised or at least the pitfalls of the advise. "We don't ship xampp in Fedora, as it's a bundled package of a bunch of things we do ship, you simply need to install a normal lamp stack and you will get security updates, better integration, selinux support and a host of other good things"
c) It's always best to stop and clarify what the orig question is and get back to that and work on solving it. Continuing sidetracks or focusing on one thing that is heating up the channel should be avoided. "Lets all go back to the compiz issue..."
Anyhow, I'm sure we will discuss this in our next weekly meeting and try and improve from it.
Thanks!
