I have a task at hand which I am hoping to bring to fruition and it is immaterial (in neutral sense of the word) who the maintainer is. I was reflecting on what a maintainer's role is and what is expected of him. There is no need for others to pitch in with their one cents and two cents worth here and make sure that the discussions hit a bottomless pit. Heed to your heart and stay away from responding to this. >> I hope after all these discussions he understands once and for all that >> Lennart Borgman has ZERO code in all the three files org-xhtml.el, >> org-lparse.el and org-odt.el. > > Sorry, this was not clear to me, because Lennart was the original author > of org-parse.el. But I believe you and I'm glad this is the case! README.org has this entry. Users can afford to NOT read README or manuals. Maintainers are different beast altogether and they have higher responsibilities. They are supposed to take full cognisance of material presented to them. As a maintainer you cannot afford to MISATTRIBUTE authorship. ,---- | ** Is OpenDocumentExporter part of Orgmode or Emacs? | | Not yet.
