Hi,

First of all your post is against this forums policy[1]. And I have to remove some of content which you have produced here. You are offending people writing this way. There are many ways to provide a feedback. Your ironical style is not constructive at all, it is destructive.

Lot's of your issues are result of lack knowledge and skills. I suggest to make a one step back and start from reading and learning basics. Community around eZ Publish is a bit different then other competitor products, you will find here mostly professional working daily in Web industry. Thus having knowledge about eZ Publish core and Web technologies makes life much easier.

Please threat it as a warning (yellow card whatever) for future. We are willing to help and answer your questions, but please don't expect us and eZ Community members to build your project for you. You have to spend sometime and learn.

<i>so it's about censorship and your hurt feelings? either you want honest feedback or you don't. you have stuff all over the place and you're blaming me for pointing out the lack of organization? </i>

Your language is just not acceptable. You have used offending words. And those were removed. User feedback is appreciate, and even better when it is constructive and valuable.
The comparisons you used against eZ Publish and eZ developers were offending. And that is not only mine opinion.

I can understand your frustration and probably deadline is close and a lot of work to do, but that does not give you right to use such obscure language on those forums. Feel free to criticise but weight your words please.

Also if you found eZ Publish to difficult to use you might switch and try something else. We do not force anybody to use eZ Publish. We live in the free world (with rules).

Hi Cubby,

I wanted to thank you for your passion and energy in the posts you sent in the community forums.

There are several great points that it would be great to have your continued input in:

- ez.no structure
- Admin interface structure and usability
- Step by step documentation

As you can imagine with a project like eZ Publish that has been running for over a decade there are several habits that occur that can be hard to break.
Myself and other members of the community (partners and other) are looking to help eZ Publish continue to be the best opensource content management tool for our needs.

<b>ez.no structure</b>
As you noted there are several areas that need some usability work.

The structure of ez.no is one that needs to be looked at. As from your comments does not met your needs. Your constructive comments are useful here, to create a solid user journey for a new eZ developer.

<b>Admin interface structure</b>
Again this is one part of eZ that has remained the same since midway through v3. v3.6 from memory. This is great for large web teams who have been able to have a reliable interface for many years. Unfortunately it means we do not get some of the changes we need to move eZ Publish forward.
The great news is the admin interface is being re-worked see Roadmap and your comments can go in with the other community members (refer to http://ez.no/developer/forum/suggestions/2_years_ago/)
Again your constructive comments will be useful here.

<b>Step by Step documentation</b>
The documentation has really improved over the last years and it will continue to do so. Partners and community members push for it. So again your pressure helps here.

<b>On etiquette</b>
As you can see you made great comments and obviously feel strongly about eZ Publish as you have spent your time to contribute in a few ways already.
I really hope that we are able to move forward from the initial comments that I am sure you did not mean in the way they came across.

I look forward to you being a regular contributor to the eZ Publish community. Your candour is fresh and useful for any community.

Kind Regards,

Tony
