Suggestion

I think it might be useful to add a section detailing when and where it was used as well as a section on its effectiveness. Jhunt47 (talk) 10:29, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite by Pablo Mayrgundter

Hey Ping!

I updated the page since I haven't heard from you in two months (here or in direct mail) to remove individual references as it was a team effort (as documented) and your names are in the links anyways.

Of course, if you don't agree I'm happy to chat about it, though I'd also ask you leave the article as is (as I did) until you do respond. If I don't respond back in 2 months, feel free to revert :)

Cheers, Pablo Pablo Mayrgundter (talk) 20:56, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ping!

Sorry you didn't like my edit. I was surprised when a friend told me I wasn't mentioned here and came to correct it. I found it odd that there were any names in particular since we had always talked about it as a large group (70+ person) effort, and then that you and Prem were listed. I definitely led something :) What would you propose?

I went back through my mails and have plenty to say of course. There's an email between you, me, Prem and some other folks where I thought we resolved how this should be represented publicly. I'll forward it to you, but we can have the discussion here.

Cheers! Pablo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:0:1003:1015:11FF:E950:2304:55 (talk) 17:27, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Pablo_Mayrgundter performed a substantial rewrite of the History section of this article on April 29. I discovered and reverted the change on May 6, and on May 13 he repeated the edit. I don't find the rewrite to be an accurate description of the project's inception, particularly Pablo's insertion of himself as the primary software engineer leading the project.

Pablo: Following BRD, I'm reverting your change and asking you to use this talk page to discuss your proposed changes before making them. Thanks. —Ka-Ping Yee (talk) 01:39, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
