it's not my intention to blame anyone or to talk about faults in the
past. I am writing here, openly, asking for honest feedback, and giving
honest feedback from my side. I also try to stay out of "bashing"
e-mails, as I think this does not help anyone, but we should rater
constructively see what the situation is and we all can make out of it.

That's a different question, indeed. I just wanted to avoid the
impression that the only choice for having the community united is by
TDF joining the ASF project, and if we do not do, we are to be blamed
for splitting the community. This is the impression I got from Noel's
e-mail, and that's why jumped in quickly.
Thanks for the fast follow-up!
More tomorrow,
Florian
