However this is an irrelevant conclusion. The fact that they are >successful does not mean Cygwin wont benefit from a search function. You clipped the part where I said "I'll see what I can do" and then offered a followup as to why it may not be a good idea to have a search function. I didn't say that a search function wouldn't be useful. I said that it can't be a huge barrier to entry given the fact that many popular projects don't have that kind of functionality. >On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 11:50 AM, Warren Young wrote: >> If you think web code repository searching and a public bug tracker are >> primary barriers to contribution, you aren't being honest with yourself. >> They are nice, but not necessary. > >I am honest with myself.

We, unfortunately, do. So, while it is possible to turn on searches, it seems like I'd have to personally take some time to fixing the viewvc code to mitigate any damage from using searches. That is more effort than I'm willing to go to on one person's claim that this functionality is vitally necessary. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
