Let me clarify things. I DID NOT CREATE THAT TOPIC.

Some moderator has taken my answer to his pretentious one from a other topic and created a new topic from it.
Not fair because, he used his access to forum-admin to create that topic using my user name.
"Some moderator"? the first message of the topic is addressed to me. You can use my name :)

Indeed, I split the topic and assigned the name.
It might look like out-of-context, but it's not, since the context is set by the first message. I appreciate everyone staying within the actual context.

I also appreciate the suggested course of actions -> please contribute.

But I wanted to correct Leledumbo's post about committers. Only core-dev are allowed to commit (so all names in the lists are (ex)core-devs)
But in my earlier post I actually gave a list commits that based on the code contributed by non-core developers.
To make exactly the same point as Leledumbo did.

Not fair because he did erase his in-respectable message who was the cause of my answer.
There was nothing unrespectable in the post. Instead I was very curious what was so "shameful" about giving a contributors guidelines on how his big contribution could be adopted by IDE.
The purpose of its removal, as I explained, was not to continue flaming in the thread. But since you react I certainly took the action to split topics as they should be.

P.S. you should be able to "Modify" your first post and change the subject to bring the context in order.

Lazarus greatly suffers from the 'not invented here' syndrome.
Ah! that's an interesting one! Any examples?

20% of programming is commenting the code one develops.
There is no such thing as 'make it work first, comment later...'.
There is, some people are facing it now here, as well as readers of my code in public repo. And it's not just Lazarus and my code. If you ever dig in any other open source softwares, uncommented code are here and there. The situation is even worse in many commercial closed source softwares (well, you have to work for them first to know the fact).
The one leads to the other.
Same case with Lazarus, not always. Some people can read and understand up to modify, depending on one's skill. But usually it's still left uncommented. I'm fine as long as there's a commit log, though. That's my documentation (which of course any forker can see).

fpcup

FPC core has already committed to adopting fpcup. So that is not a good example.
