{quote format_guid="bbcode" comment_id="4671" user="arnaudherve"}Spider gave the main answer I guess. From my point of view, it was a general atmosphere, plus one event that triggered my reaction. Both lied in the fact that Tiki was getting bloated by adding more and more features but without optimizing the already existing features. As for the general atmosphere, I found it annoying that features like Chat, Drawings, Mobile.... kept being added, whereas in the forums you still couldn't get Add Code or Quote to work properly. It seemed there was no end in adding features, few at the level of competition. The particular event was that I used the Comment Into Forums feature, which I found really really great for Editors, but my users who didn't have the permission kept seeing the button. So I went to the discussion list and asked if it could be repaired. I was answered that I was trying to make money out of their work. In fact I was doing volunteer work at the time and was trying to [i:aa60b39c0f]get[/i:aa60b39c0f] a real job through it, so I thought it was a bit harsh, and also wondered what developer never tries to get a job through OpenSource... But more important, I realized that they didn't have real care for what is Beta or not. The Comment Into Forum was obviously still in Beta, since some users saw the button and were told after clicking that they didn't have the permission, but they found it ok to let that feature available in the main distribution. So I came here and I met people with healthy methods: - respect for Lean And Clean principle - respect for Beta Until Perfect principle I must say the main developers in Tikiwiki are really great persons, even in private contacts. It was just at that time a lack of organization that prevented them to apply standards. Without being a coder, I also asked why this or that was in a few templates, and got answers like "Oh, that must have been left there from the last but one version", or things like that. Tikiwiki was becoming a monstrous heap of code with no coherence. That was version 1.8 at the time. I guess it is improving now.{/quote}
