From the very beginning of his work on his proofread
extension, he tried to
exclude everybody he personal doesn't like. Especially
IP's he dislikes and
treats them the same way as vandals.
There has been at least 3 major updates of his extension, every time he
found new ways to discourage people to work with his extension and to
complicate the work of author.
Every time we had big discussion with him after his buggy changes and must
find ways to get around his blocking methods. We have a lot of texts
(thousands of pages) proofread two times before his extension was
developed. We try to convert most of them to the proofread extension. But
even Administrators are not capable of setting a 2 times proofread text to
the ready state. When we begged him to assist us with this problem he wasn't
willing to, we found away around his restriction. Now there is an update
and we have the same problems again,
an this not by an accident. Because when he sees that we find solutions in
the js part which is configurable, he moves more and more of his SILLY
IDEAS into parts of the code we can't change.
There has been a lot of experiments to get a common working interface with
ThomasV but he is not willing to cooperate. In my opinion it would be very
easy, to incorporate parameters, to give the project the chance to implement
their community consensus of for example IP editing (including second
proofreading), setting completed pages to the ready state, ...
And to Brigitte SB
It's not so easy to call take another developer if this one is not willing
to cooperate.
Would it be accepted that there are two different (but extremely similar) pr
extensions, active on all wiki's?
And I don't think that ThomasV is willing to accept any consensus which is
not according to his way of thinking.
Have a look at the other ws. Has there been any question of ThomasV what the
consensus in this ws is - or is there
only his dictate!
Have a look here.
