Here we have a mailing list that is dedicated to Linux, (GNU/Linux) and Open Source and that has been crying about the need for an accounting software designed to make linux more acceptable to the general users. And when a person on this list is offering to do something to further the same, you ask him to go to the software's own mailing list. So what is the use of this list ? Then when rony has a problem next time with a proxy software, you will tell him to go and sign up for that software's mailing list and dont bother people here ?
I think Siddhesh is right, he has pointed to right list where testing from user's pov can be better explained by Krishnakant and other developers rather than making such discussion here.
No sir, this is the best place to initiate the matter and make a statement of intention. Krishnakant has also done the right thing by replying on the list and taking things offline from there. If all things are done offline, and nothing is on the list, no one will know that some progress is being made. Which i hope is not what you all want. Visibility of progress and offers for help in that line is important if you want FLOSS projects to gain momentum.
Since GNUKhata has been repeatedly discussed in this forum, and since the lead developer is here on this liust, i see no reason why Suchit can not or should not post here his intention to help, either by himself or through someone else. He has not said he will post the feedback here to this list.
Many project's developers are here but they never talk/discuss apart from general discussion.
And I think the offer to get the project tested in real life situation is also as general things can be. So again, i do not see why it should not be posted on the list (ofcourse as a starting point or contact point).
I think its time to stop flaming people for the sake of flaming people. If you cant help, at least keep quiet. And get a life.
This was unneeded. He has life already! :P
Perhaps, and i should appologise for that, but i am tired of seeing flames where there is no need for it.
