Minor barriers & interacting

• Pre-hacking interaction

  • More painful – no idea if they're any good
    • my umpteen build problems with gnumeric: Miguel
  • IRC – the only real solution
    • extremely helpful – works both ways

• CVS performance – branch,tag,merge vs. a patch-set

  • #$%#$%#%#'ing unfixable NFS idiocy

• Bad behavior

  • “we re-wrote your feature from scratch” - 3x
  • “it's on our road-map to do for 2.0” - ?
  • “interesting patch” ... no feedback / follow-up

• Not as bad as I remember it

  • dealing with the paranoid & delusional ...
