I tried to get a developer account and proper e-mail address on the CRUX server in order to be able to participate in development, maintenance and organisation, but nobody replied, my e-mails were rejected. I contacted Per and told him about my plans, but he could not really help me, because he was not a CRUX developer anymore.
Yeah, contacting Per is moot these days. btw, I've seen that mail now in which you tried to get a developer account. I suggest you read that mail again yourself and think about whether the *tone* of the text fits with "asking for access". I've worked with several free software projects in the last few years, and I've never seen somebody behave like that when they wanted to contribute. Commanding us to give you access after you supplied two patches is kind of crazy. And of course, it doesn't make sense at all that you didn't subscribe to the developer list in order to be able to post there to ask for access. Apparently flaming us was enough reason to subscribe to this list after all. Oh well o_O Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
