Sooo.. what are you trying to accomplish? Increase activity & awareness I guess?

Seems like there ARE community members making contributions, but nobody on the reactor team is using them?

@mirge - I’m sorry you feel the need to keep vomiting in this thread, but if the reason I stated as to why you are not the intended audience of this particular thread is not apparent to you, then there’s nothing I can do to help.

And you wonder why the community isn’t more active with an attitude like that? Someone doesn’t agree with you, and you come down with a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth… sure, that’s going to encourage people to join the community!  :lol:

I really don’t think you’re actually trying to accomplish anything at this point. You just have the deep-seeded desire to bitch & moan without offering up any tangible solution. Bravo, troll.

Oh good god… if we have to keep going on about this - you have clearly not read anything I have said here.  Your feelings are apparently hurt because I said you’re not the intended audience of this thread - nothing I can do there that’s your choice to take offense.  Whether or not you agree with me is not my concern - I’m not looking for people who simply agree with me.  What a boring life that would be!

However, I refuse to spell out what I am talking about here.  You’ve missed the target - sorry.

Probably living their lives, working their jobs, etc.

You come nowhere close to seeing the point I’m trying to make here, and you are not my intended audience.

My point here is that ever since the Reactor project reared its ugly head, the community has just about died.  This used to be a vibrant, active community full of life - but it is no longer.  My point is Reactor has done more harm than good to the people that helped make this community.  Am I wrong?  What benefit has Reactor provided for the community?

You asked where the community was. I gave an answer. If you don’t like the answer, that isn’t my problem.

Rather than rant on a forum, why don’t you try to contact the actual core team to see what’s going on?

Who is your intended audience, if… the.. COMMUNITY isn’t?

What actual HARM has reactor done? At this point, I’m not disagreeing with you, but I am curious how it’s actually done more harm than good?

Now i completelly agree with you…

I have voted with Yes

Cheers!!!!!!!

Looks like I was right…big changes announced at CICON2011 and now a frenzy of activity within the repo…shocking.  😊

Shock!! Horror!! Developer13 is trolling. Is there nothing you do other than bitch and troll about Reactor? I bet you’re really pissed that Reactor IS CodeIgniter now then, eh?

The fact is EllisLab stagnated for at least a year with CodeIgniter, and now we have the Reactor engineers we have a group of people willing to give up their time to help it move forward.

Oh and by the way, you wonder why people aren’t active in the forums…then when they try to you try to run your mouth to them about “not the intended audience” who cares if the guy joined in April, 2011? How do you know he hasn’t used CI since 2006?

Well, of course!  :cheese:

Sure, and I applaud them for that. I have nothing against any one of them - I know none of them, so how can I?

I vote yes. Reactor is a prove, that EllisLab appreciate its community.

Developer13: I thought I explained this all pretty well over beer in Arizona (thanks for that one by the way) but these comments are terrible!

If CICON had *anything* to do with it, we’d be seeing a pick-up in activity, not a dismal retraction.

This is because we were transitioning from Hg to Git, commits were happening in the background but not on the front. Things never slowed down and we’ve been working our arses off for months - fixing bugs. Look at the 2.0.3 changelog list and see how many ticks have that little green tick - the signature of a bug fixed by US.

All Reactor has done so far is given those who whined about it the illusion of control so they’d shut up.  I don’t see the point, and I don’t see how it’s resolved any of the “problems” in which it was spawned from.

How is the death of the community NOT irrefutable evidence of the harm done by Reactor?

Wow. Just wow!

It’s a shame you weren’t at CICON or you would have seen how the Reactor project is motivating people to get coding. By the end of the event we were up to 30 contributors on the Git repo, now it’s up to 35.

We’ve in the space of a few days got onto the GitHub “Most Watched” list for PHP and we’re ranking pretty high.

We also have 22 active pull requests, all for useful bugs!

Reactor is making things happen and giving power to the people. You’d be amazed by the attitude of people that came to CICON. I had at least 20 people come up to me as they were leaving, shake my hand and say “Man, I can’t wait to get home and just fix some bugs!”.

How did we break the community? I think it’s doing pretty damn well.

I was not at the CICON but I already forked the project and I’m waiting for contributions guidelines so that I won’t make a mess.

What about stop complaining and simply give opinions and good ideas to start working together? Maybe Reactor team didn’t do that well (this is not my opinion but everyone has his own) but this doesn’t mean they can’t get better. Let’s help them and let’s help each other. Makes sense?

Hey, developer13,

I voted yes. I am not as edgy as you are.

And… I voted NO

I don’t consider Phil or any of the other contributors to the CI community branch actually know what they are doing.

CodeIgniter will fail under their guidance.

I want Ellislab, to take control and give me a foundation framework to work from.
