Corinna, I apologize to you and the list for not being on my best behavior. However… I *have* contributed to Dokany. Despite the fact that my own project is independent and not a Dokan fork (and has a completely different design/architecture), a couple of days ago I suggested on their mailing list that I would still work with them. The events of the last couple of days changed my mind. I work on my project(s) because I can and because I find that it is fun, even when I am debugging for 2 days why the LazyWriter hangs in some obscure kernel corner. If it gets too political it stops being fun. If I am forced to work on something I would rather not, it stops being fun too. I want to contribute to Cygwin, because I have been a user since the early 2000’s and because I cannot live on Windows without it. I thought I had something to contribute after all this time. Unfortunately it looks like the price of admission may be higher than I am willing to pay at this time. Thank you and regards, Bill
