Wedge

DP's founder was once a dev for SP - maybe that's where the DP chasing SP  impression came from?

DP currently has nothing in the way of articles.

- DreamPortal - occasionally very hard to grasp the concept behind modules/layout + no real articles(AFAIK)

I'm afraid DP is quite dead and there's nothing we can do about it. May I add that we'd rather not have Dream Portal flames around here?
I only moved this topic among others to the public area because I made some mass topic moves and barely read the contents (only checked that it didn't have any private stuff in it.)
Regarding DP, it's bad mojo to us.

Last year, at the suggestion of Arantor, they chose to go BSD.
Then, when we started discussing writing portal features for Wedge, Dream Portal came into it and we decided to look into forking it for Wedge, since it's allowed, and we already had one of the DP developers onboard (and one of its project managers IIRC).
Well, turned out that the Dream Portal project lead(s) was/were adamantly against it... And when you start questioning your very own license, there's a problem with the way you're dealing with your project.
In the end, we just felt this behavior was too childish that it could hurt the quality of the work that its developers put into it. And we decided against using Dream Portal at all.

In the end we'll probably write everything by ourselves. It will take time but that's what we get for playing things fair and square. :P (It's a good thing I wrote AeMe, innit? It would be awful if I couldn't reuse it eheh.)

As I said... I find it odd that ccbtimewiz would register here, and post precisely in this topic, to say something obscure. If he's not planning to say hello and keep his act together, then he'd better leave now because that's obviously him I was talking about. I try my best at keeping my ideas open about people (which is why I have nothing against Chris being here as long as he acts properly like any newcomer instead of just posting weird messages), but I also expect others to do the same for us. I rest my case.

I don't understand why he did that... Anyways, back to topic! :angel:

And respectfully put, the vote was against to allow the inclusion of DP inside of any other software.

In the end we'll probably write everything by ourselves. It will take time but that's what we get for playing things fair and square. :P (It's a good thing I wrote AeMe, innit? It would be awful if I couldn't reuse it eheh.)
