In reply to this post by Jeffrey Van Voorst



nothing is changed, everyone has access to the same materials, and

now, superior tools. there is no foul play or malicious activity,

despite claims otherwise. all transactions are legitimate and

supported by those involved.



i have retired Luke of the management duties, particularly, *above*

the source, ie. the professional presentation and image of the

project, nothing more. it undermines nothing. everyone is free to

continue, for the most part, business as usual ... including Luke.



ironically, this resolution was SPECIFICALLY CHOSEN because it was

believe to have the highest probability of keep an already small

community intact, AND retaining Luke. it was not decided lightly or

whimsically, and whether to fork or travel this path was up in the air

for some time. i purchased `uxpy.net` and `uxpy.co` for this exact

reason. however a very prominent member of the community persuaded me

that despite the initial shock, this would be the better path.



i agreed, and still do. anyone who wishes can make their support

known, should they choose to do so, themselves. the domain

transaction was performed in good faith, as a means of returning the

project to the community, and in full support of the previous holder.



in short, i entered negotiations with Erik directly; i did not need to

consult Luke, nor would that have be productive. Erik was already

aware of the problems i cited; he may elaborate his own decision

further, himself, should he choose to do so.



the hosting has changed in a way that will allow the project to grow

professionally, and accept perfectly reasonable suggestions from the

community. i've given two presentations on pyjs in a professional

setting, and BOTH times the first questions and comments were NOT

about pyjs. i'll let you fill in the gaps.



alas, there is no need for apologies, from anyone. for all intents and

purposes Luke and everyone else is free to make similar decisions with

regards to the codebase. the collective desire was to retain Luke as

a developer. it should be noted that a fork was the original route,

an opportunity presented itself, and i ran with it.



the ideal result was an intact community, with the ability to do

what's best for the PROJECT and COMMUNITY, where other considerations

and ideals, personal or otherwise, are secondary at best.



nothing was remove from Luke's server, and no attempt was made to

"cover up". in fact, all data was pulled from publicly exposed

repositories.



regarding the .bash_history ... please see:



https://github.com/xtfxme/.../blob/ellipsis/.../self/data/profile/etc/bash/interactive#L209



... and ...



echo $HISTFILE



... that file will DETAIL me asking permission before i set it up.

it's a self-hosted get repository of my own design. have fun with it.



the pygit browser is a toy -- use Github's browser. the wiki was

literally injected AS-IS (Github supports 7+ formats) into the Github

repo, then merged with new documents. the other repos are unrelated

to pyjs, and Luke are free to do what you wish with them; i have

neither removed nor altered anything on his server.



Luke, i would recommend you terminate thought paths regarding criminal

activity. everything in use is public knowledge or assets; i'm afraid

you can't encourage and promote a public portal, then criminalize it's

use. i do not even have the gitolite database, nor any other

non-public data. please don't make me further intervene or forcibly

terminate additional threats or remarks. there is no case to be had,

and the domain was not hijacked. quite frankly, the domain was

hijacked when the one maintaining it blatantly disregarded the

community preferences thereto.



nothing has been vandalised. all comments regarding theft, stealing,

hijacking, or any other allusion to a crime are unfounded and do not

reflect reality. i have legitimately acquired the domain, with the

full consent of it's previous owner, and that's all there is to it.

please, let's move into more productive areas of discussion.



the examples and archives will be fixed soon enough.



declaring pyjs as dead, and claiming defacement/hijacking is nonsense.

please do not disrespect me or the work performed in achieving this.

the website WILL be replaced, rather soon, but it's use is acceptable,

and governed by it's associated license.



this is the path forward; make good of the newfound power.
