</div> joao, the concept of "free speech" is a myth. do you get onto the<br>
Linux Kernel Mailing List and expect to be tolerated for talking about<br>
chickens and race cars?<br>
<br>
this is about goals - about shared goals. you are entirely *free* to<br>
set up a mailing list with different goals from the ones that i have<br>
set for this project.<br>
<br>
from 2004 to 2006 i had the shared goal of reverse-engineering HTC<br>
smartphones, with people like cr2 who is still associated with the<br>
#htc-linux project. we operated *without* having a mailing list - IRC<br>
and a wiki only (and a source code repository and a place to upload<br>
files). it worked very very well.<br>
<br>
this project is about to get very very busy (i will be in a position<br>
to make announcements and give more details in a few weeks), and i'd<br>
like it to be on a sound footing by then.<br>

I have no interest in starting am ideological debate here, I am sure we are both right in own culture and experiences, it is your project, you are the ML owner, as as a guest I fully respect your authority to defined the communication rules.<div>
<br></div><div>Linux being of the most notable Free Software projects does not represent that it's mailing lists, it's people or it's processes are all great examples of free speech, and even if it did, your example about being off-topic in an on-topic ML again is a demonstration that we don't share a common understanding about "free speech". I see your reference to Linux Kernel in what relates to it's ability to achieve goals.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I understand your focus on goals, I appreciate your work, I hope you and all the people around the project succeed, but I also have a great care about the methods. I am just a curious watcher about this project, I have silently read the ML for the last couple of weeks and there has been a couple of times which I have noted some methods of enforcing rules which I personally do not appreciate. Again I am not judging you, I am just explaining my motivation to seek an alternative with similar goals but with methods which are closer to my personal opinion about communication and collaboration.</div>
