Russ,
I have been discussing with Heinz and Alex for the last two months, because I want to CONTRIBUTE for FREE to THIS project! Is that a very commerical interest? To help them for free? I want to get my hands dirty - NOW! I want to make x2go the best terminal server ever. Dont you understand it? I don't want to FORK it and do all the work again just because they don't let me contribute! It's more like eating in a free restaurant and wanting to give something back to make it the best restaurant in the world. And all you get is that your efforts are ignored!
I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Because my interest to cooperate and join all the forces is of a commercial intention!
My "client" is the local state here with about 4000 schools - sure, schools are very commercial! I am lucky if I get a few bucks from them, but most of my work is voluntary!
Tell me what you would do if you want to push a great idea and they don't let you - even though they promised it already two months ago!
Jörg

It is simply inappropriate and rude to eat at a free restaurant in the honored guest private dining room, and then loudly complain that the portions were too small, and did not taste good
Thank you, Russ. For those who do not know, Russ has more experience working on large open source projects than most of us combined.

chuckle -- decloaked -- yeah -- I have fought these fights before a few times. But I try to learn, and to be a good citizen in the FOSS community every day
I've explored getting a packaging of x2go that I like to be an adjunct to Fedora (CentOS' feeder, via RHEL), and also for a commercial product we've been working on for the last few years. Open Source requires a patient and fostering touch, and not the bludgeon in the first instance
