I now have an idea of what this is about, after Sinan posted on the dev blog - if I'm right, it is understandable that they do not want to call it Final without fixing it to work properly...

As I understand it, there is a small asteroid that is being tackled as we speak - and the release will be made soon none the less. Even though a bit late of the promised schedual...
I'm sorry, was that asteroid or hemroid? I get confussed when it relates to SMF team.
For all I know, it might be the devs ran out of Preparation H - So I can't really give you an answer.
I really do not know much more than the fact that the work is running behind schedual for some reason, I do not know the exact reason...

Can't deny that, but then again, what's a day or two more in a time scale like that ;)

Lex says "The fights and political drama within SMF are mostly done with"......... good lad  :eheh:

Got a lot of things to answer to that thread... Hope I'll find some time to do it.
I was simply being honest from my perspective. Most of the fighting and political games "in-house" were between J10 and the time the NPO took over the project.
After that, the politics have been mostly about figuring out how the project lives within the new NPO family. No fighting really, discussions I'd say.

EDIT: That is, not including events leading to J10 in first place...

I would actually like to know what was the thing back then that started this all then?
But I also understand we are going hugely offtopic here...

@Lex, it was more drawing attention to the syntax of the document, which I later discovered was written by Kindred. Yes there are many ways of entering the Articles and Sections, not all are the correct format however. I don't program but in legal circles, like a programmer correcting improper syntax, I am a stickler for format and dotting all i's and crossing all t's.
That I can understand - Nothing wrong with being a bit pedantic about something you care about.

But, honestly if you wished to point out weaknesses or errors in said articles, you could have given constructive feedback to the people behind it, and made a difference perhaps - instead of starting to bad mouth the validity and contents of the articles publicly, in a place where most of the team won't even visit to see your comments.

It is this kind of approach from you, that makes many believe you are a troll and nothing more.
Please note, I'm not calling you a troll here - just making a point.

Erm... Anyway, I don't believe a document could be nulled in courts just because it doesn't have pretty section numbers... (???)
Yeah, my thoughts exactly - plus it's a paper that only affects the members of the NPO, so if someone wished to argue it's validity it should be someone within the NPO.. I see no real reason for anyone to argue over them, when they don't affect you at all.

Road Rash, there are multiple valid ways to write legal documents, and like spoogs pointed out - If the content of an article is a single item, no section heading/number is needed. And the numbering goes by article.subsection, so the 2.1 is article 2 section 1. ;)

It's nice to be reminded that not everything is my fault for once... :whistle:
LOL, there are a lot of things that very well might be your fault, but my given name is most certainly not one of them :P

No, that change was me.
You have started a craze *over there* Arantor..........
no more "LexArma" now.....

 ::)
My name change had absolutely 0 to do with Arantor's. I just decided after using a pseudonym for years, that I could really be using my real name just as well, and drop the mask. And that's what I did. So I'm now using my real name.

Hi there :)

Could be just that, though it's usually pretty accurate as to the reasons it blocks sites.
