@maiyannah Yeah, when I was on SLC there was continuous talk of an exodus from quitter.se over the socjus culture there.
However I haven't seen any nastyness coming from that direction the way there is on Twitter. I'm sure there's plenty of socjus on quitter.se, but since they don't bother me why should I be bothered by them?
@maiyannah @moonman Most of the Debian stuff (some trivial license things aside) is fairly sane though. E.g. we can expect every distro to want those config files in /etc and we can expect every distro to prefer dependencies on other packages over bundled deps.
I'll just have to figure out if there's a graceful way in PHP/PEAR to support both bundled and distro dependencies.
@maiyannah Ah, so he's like the Belgian government a few years ago when they couldn't create a federal government coalition and went without a federal government for 589 days creating no more problems than a sense of embarrassment.
Looking at the atom protocol and the existing PumpIO class in AndStatus it may be interesting to look at the native atom protocol. I'll do some experimentation over the weekend. If nothing else it'll be a good refresher for my Java skills. :)
