Peter, myself, and Sergey were cranking out the code and answering tons of forum posts. The project at its peak was 30 to 40 hours of my time a week. With jboss' backing of the project and Sergey as a full-time dev, I simply burned out because I finally could. Having some anonymity on the internet is not a bad thing ;) Btw. I still use nhibernate and think everyone involved with the project has done a good job. Ayende has done a great job being a vocal leader. It is great he has a commercial product tied to nhibernate. http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment11http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment11Sun, 13 Dec 2009 17:43:52 GMTOh right. I thought the link was to ohloh (as a "if you don't know what ohloh is, click here"). Withdrawn. http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment10http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment10Sun, 13 Dec 2009 13:16:22 GMTAvish, I did, by pointing out the ohloh statistics. http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment9http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment9Sun, 13 Dec 2009 01:22:55 GMTi don't believe you. http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment8http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment8Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:47:38 GMTAvish, maybe you missed the ohloh link... http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment7http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment7Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:19:06 GMTWouldn't it have been appropriate to give credit where credit is due and mention the person who actually *is* the main contributor to NHibernate in the post? http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment6http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment6Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:00:54 GMTThis is typical - all attention goes to the loudest ones as the hardworking ones don't have time for publicity... I mean no offense, you compensate for it in other projects http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment5http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment5Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:58:04 GMTFrans, You are talking about Sergey, with the commit username of 'justme84'. http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment4http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment4Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:26:01 GMTMike ported the hibernate source to C# if I'm not mistaken, and abandoned the project years ago. Wasn't some russian guy doing lots of devs on nhibernate after that before he was hired by JBoss? http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment3http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment3Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:24:19 GMTIndeed...Fabio's visible on the Web, but one Mike Doerfler...after 10 minutes of Google Search still no conclusive identification. Apart from NH contribution he seems quite web-invisible :) Much regards to him from my side. Whatever people bitch about NH, it's a great effort as it allows for Greenfield and Brownfield (you know, the muddy, murky one) dev. http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment2http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment2Sat, 12 Dec 2009 11:36:29 GMTI like to say it in that way: "one of the main contributors of NHibernate". http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment1http://ayende.com/4322/setting-the-record-straight-i-am-not-the-main-contributor-to-nhibernate#comment1Sat, 12 Dec 2009 10:14:11 GMT
