Thanks Hans,
I can agree on your propostion Jacopo, notably about time and quality, especially on framework where even a small change can have
large side effects.
Sometimes joint work can do marvel, like we did recently on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4289 Jacopo, but yes it
requires time and respect.
It's actually 2 years now that I constraint myself to commit prioritarily fixes over new features. It happens that some
contributions fix an issue but introduce others (like for JMS). It's of course most annoying when at the framework level.
Note that some errors in the framework are not detected immediately because they concern not often used features. Who to blame then,
the one who introduced the initial error without noticing it (not always easy), or the one who fixed it later and introduced a new
one (also not noticing it )? We immediatele see that this question does not make sense. We can't become fossilized because of fear.
So we need more efforts from everyone, when it's about fixing issues in framework. Simply exchanging and answering questions would
help to synchronize the efforts.
In other words, I agree on your proposition Jacopo, but I also demand more participation of other committers. All contributions are
not valuable, but there are too much valuable contributions waiting in Jira. Some with questions desesperately waiting answers, and
I don't speak only about new features...
I had to say it, even if I doubt it will have much effect
