Subject: target userspace utils (rtsadmin) project is dysfunctional
Date: Fri, 09 Sep 2011 00:07:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E69BB29.2030800@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Jerome and Nick,

I happened upon this website:

http://www.theopensourceway.org/book/The_Open_Source_Way-How_to_tell_if_a_FLOSS_project_is_doomed_to_FAIL.html

According to my calculations (available upon request), rtsadmin comes in
at 220 points: "so much fail, your code should have its own reality TV
show".

I could also add some more like "primary developer never responds to
email", "CLA discourages external contributions", and "uses executable
name as corporate marketing tool".

Admittedly rtsadmin is a nice piece of code, thanks btw, but your
company is falling short of accepted standards for stewardship of a
FLOSS project. Please tell me why we all wouldn't be better off if I
forked rtsadmin tomorrow.

Regards -- Andy
