I am truly enjoying the diversity of conversation and opinion, without a
doubt. :)
From what I have read, it seems most folks here prefer to argue the
merits of their position. Only a few loners tossed the H-bomb, and then
they left with righteous insecurity.

As an old-school assembler guy, I don't care what scripting language you
use, it's a vehicle. They all have quirks and/or costs. Mercedes, Nissan,
Audi, Chevy? It's a trade-off somewhere. Where does it hurt the least, Can
it handle the road, can anybody drive it, and how far will it take you?

I honestly have never understood the term "non-free" for software that I
get, well, for free. It's only when the lawyers get involved that life
becomes difficult. I purchase a piece of equipment, as part of that
purchase, I have right to the software for that kit. Why not just call the
repository "unsupported?" Certainly sounds better than "antisocial", though
I do get a chuckle every time.

Regarding the suggestion of dishevelment, I must say, from my encounters,
this project has a decided Chi, balance and form on IRC. Good things are
worthy of patience. I recommend: wait.

Constitution? Naaaah. Declaration. It's just the beginning.

Finally, I'm willing to help in any way possible. It was suggested on
IRC that a relay for github commits to the IRC channel would be useful and
appreciated, so I've been playing with various bots, but fell in love with
github webhooks, 'cause I am all about event-driven goodness. I'm still
testing, but it requires the repository owner, once I have it fully tested,
to enter a Webhook URL I will provide (legit https site of course, no
self-signed). From there I can drive the events to wherever necessary. If
that's a nogo, just let me know and I'll find an alternative method.

Cheers to all, if it sucks, say so and say why. Opinion is not hate.
