Most people think that `free programs`, `free spirit of collaboration` are characteristics of Open Source. Those are just the advantages; the only thing that Open Source provides is something more amoral: Public availability of source, open for scrutiny.
One of the nice things about having blogged about Sylpheed Claws for 4+ years, is that it provides a good documentation of personal involvement. People will tend to say that it is coloured by personal opinions, but it is, in hindsight, more reliable than the `email du jour` where people tend to switch positions based on the length of the quote they prefer to use. For blog entries you can just go back to a date and see how you felt about something.
So with the two observations above I looked back at my old Claws case blog entry, and thought that I failed to present my case by trying to document the personal side.
With help of use of publicly available archives, here the facts that I failed to present (and there's really a lot more in the Devel Archive):
