After submitting it all, go to spamcop.net and you;ll see the message "you have no spam to report" or somsuch, click that link, click this bookmarklet, click the link again, click this bookmarklet, and so on :) No, these scripts are completely independent of Thunderbird…..the only thing Thunderbird will be used for, is submitting large amounts of spam mail to spamcop as attachments.

A project manager likes to know that he/she can pick up the phone or send an e-mail to get help with an issue, from multiple sources. So, I would say that so long as there is a limit on the size, commercial notices such as that one should be welcomed. A 100% ban may be counter-productive. Something like a single-line signature link to a centrally stored business contact card would be helpful to everyone and would not pollute the rest of the content.

Not going to moderate anything until then :) Actually my advice was that you apologize for being too quick with deletions and quit the matter until it is publicly discussed.

This is for me the conclusion : our guidelines are not clear enough but the community should remain an open place driven by the community. Let us make things happen in Paris and after. I also want to apologize if you took things personal Kristof. Not meant at all. I was simply trying to be a bit consistent with what was told to other people in the past. It seems it was not necessary and we would have discussed at the conference anyway. Sorry for the mess. Cheers, Bertrand Krsitof,

Classic evasion scenario with vague and confusing answers. It is all about making money. This is how the world works. Don't buy into marketing / hype / nonsense spiced with freedom, open source, sharing, community, newsletters, awards, motivation, enthusiasm, promises and what not. Instead, ask yourself: 1. How much is YOUR time and YOUR life worth? 2. Is it wise spending your energy making money for someone else? Think about it...

Discussion first, deletions later. Make the right decision fast, before its too late.

I agre there is no reason to have different treatments in the community, but also, you raise that we might need some improvements regarding the guidelines themselves so it might be not all achieved in one step neither in one post comment on this blog. Please feel free to call him or talk with him as well directly ! On the second part, i can answer. The certified extension section on ez.no is targeted to customers and not providers. It is a page where customers can find information about the available extensions in the ecosystem. You are right in the assessment that there is not a lot of information on ez.no for potential providers like yo who wants to certify and distribute their extension. So far it is more handled offline, in a one to one relation. Regarding your bet on the partner section, it is true that there is a bit more information on the partner section, but still the main information and the main process is always handled offline, in a direct real human relation with an eZ Systems rep. if you are interested, just call someone at eZ, and discuss the opportunity ! Hopefully, the certified extension might turn into a bigger business and we might have tools and routines much more automated to run a marketplace of certified extensions, but at this step, it is not that big, that is the main reason for not having all online on ez.no for providers like you !
