Hi Scott,

Well, you might appreciate the fact that I would have contributed this 
system, if the client we developed it for would have allowed that. We 
used as many Eclipse projects in the process as possible, and tried to 
contribute back as much as possible, as well.

As this was developed in the context of an independent contract this is 
not the type of decision I make, but can only strive for. In this case, 
we did manage to return the Subversive support code to Buckminster, 
which at that time only supported Subclipse.

If I have to decide on a project which technologies to use for a 
client's project, I decide what is overhead and what is not. If an 
existing solution is not advanced enough (or if nothing is there) and it 
is impossible to improve the existing code base, the make-or-buy 
decision might turn towards the 'make' decision. Which in this case it did.

I'm not quite sure what the point is you are trying to make. I'm writing 
software as my profession, I'm not hanging around open source projects 
for fun :)

Regards,
 Dann
