Oh I am so sorry, I was wrong on the following:

 * Switching to UTF8 for real i18n support
 * Making cloning the db object an independent connection to the db
 * Checking licenses before using code
 * Implementing proper input sanitation
 * Adding support for proper debugging of code
 * Switching to PHP5
 * Ensuring we comply with GNU Project guidelines
 * Getting gSoC students to work on generic functionality
 * Not relying on out dated anti patterns

These are things all supported by the community, so are you saying that
the phpGW community has "never once deviated from [its] religious kind
of dogmatic arguments - [it] simply can't be wrong"?

I think it is more that you can't handle not getting your own way.  Like
others in the community I am more than happy to have the debate and then
live with the result.  I don't continue to raise the same issue over and
over again when the project's position is clear.

As has been pointed out to you in the past, we strive for elegant
thought out solutions - not dirty hacks.  Maybe you need to look back at
your proposals in this context to see why there has been little support
for your positions.  Personal attacks don't further your cause either.

LOL

People who want/need something else are free to choose a different road.
I think there are people still in the project who share a vision of
developing a quality collaboration platform.

Cheers
