You just have to see that we all had this unpleasent experience with KDE and you for the KDE 2.2 release IIRC when you left the project because of those issues that I noted. And you had a brand new ooh theme manager that was already working and we never saw even one line of code. That resulted in that it prevented people from writing one because they thought you'd do that. We ended up in the situation where we are now. Still noone cared about it but the subject comes up again. If you want to be part of the community you're very welcome. Everyone is delighted by your ideas that you share and your commitment to KDE that never changed despite of you leaving the project and we're thankful for that IMHO. So, if you want to get your CVS account back I'd be more than willing to support that. We just have to work out *real* plans that result in *real* code which can be included in the 3.2 release. That's the only thing I'm concerned about. Nothing more. Please go ahead if you want to come in again, like I said, I'd be more than willing to support you getting your CVS account back, but we should be aware on both sides that when you left it was for reasons. I don't want such a situation to come up again under any circumstances as it will give us the same bad press if that will happen. If we can agree on real work like we used to do in the early days and really do the job, fine. If you don't think you've got the time or the energy to write a thememanager that is complete, then you could also serve as a coordinator that just directs people on how to do it the way you think it should be done, that's also fine.
