As I said earlier, I was very disappointed to read of your experience as a Rack module developer (not least of the reasons: I use your modules often!)
However, this is a bit of a problem:
> Please do not assume you can read the archives of any incident and see an honest account of the full chronology.
The fact that Belt's handling of the module developer community has gained some notoriety that cannot be evaluated by reading "the full chronology" makes it extremely hard for those of us not involved in the original exchanges to make any confident assessment of what has taken place.
At this point, to be honest, the reading around of various threads (edited as they may be) related to all this left me with this as my only conclusion: your own personal style and beliefs and andrew belt's are deeply incompatible and it is probably best for everyone that you've chosen other pathways (you seemed deeply and personally hurt, and I could pretty much guarantee that it would happen again). I felt sympathy for both of your positions (at least as far as I could read them), and saw them as mostly irreconcilable.
I'm open to having my mind changed in the future. Your experience has certainly made me wonder if and how often I ever acted in a similar way that you feel Belt did, within the community of Ardour developers. I can remember only one (recent) incident in which someone felt they deserved explicit recognition for their part in a process. I hope that's the extent of it.
