Relations
What often kills marriages or other relationships is when one or more people decide to view the other person negatively. When that happens it is difficult to turn around. If someone tries to do something good, or say they are sorry that action is seen with automatic suspicion and distrust. There can be many many other positive actions but they keep getting seen negatively. Its amazes me how almost anything can be turned into a negative. This is happening to some extent here and was happening some in Github issues. The negativity was getting me down.
Hot Desking
Actually its pretty easy.
Not knowing who you are I don't know when you took the class. New method has existed for around 3 years maybe longer.
It gets taught when asked and has been a part of most Admin Training classes in 2018.
Bugs
Its ironic the louder the complaints have been by a few people the more I worked on them. But the more I worked on them the louder the complainers complained as if nothing was being done about it. Large amounts of time have been spent on bugs despite what has been said to the contrary.
Report bugs
Github issues was turned off because it was being abused. People were using it for support not bugs and they were bashing me and others while trying to help them. Bugs are still being reported on IRC, on this forum, in email, reported in Continuing Education, over private chat and other forms of communication. and guess what we fix the ones that we find during quality control testing, and our own use of the software. Bugs are still being reported and they still being fixed. PostgreSQL isn't using github issues and neither is FreeSWITCH. PostgreSQL bugs are sent to an email address and yet PostgreSQL is very high quality.
Pull Requests
Quite a few of these have actually been accepted. Some of them have been very good. Many pull requests have actually had their own bugs and many take extra work to get them consistent with the rest of the project. There was a time I started accepting almost all pull requests as I did this the bug reports climbed. Many of these actually showed that the developer who shared them never tested the code. When this happens people blame me for the problem. So I do review the code changes and I have to spend time on the changes to understand them and make sure they don't have bugs or causes regression(s).
Perfect?
I known am not perfect. For those expecting perfection are you perfect? Yes sometimes the squirrel problem with a distraction. I'm sorry about this I'm interested in many things and sometimes that can lead off topic. I'm working on doing better in that regard and other areas as well.
Case sensitive search
You probably meant case insensitive searching so that the case doesn't hide the result you are looking for. I'm not against this. I just tested Destinations, Contacts, Streams, Bridges, IVR Menus, Ring Groups all have case case insensitive search. I found a few where case insensitive searching didn't work and then I fixed them. these include Domains, Extensions, Dialplans, and Users. So complaint on this was likely a misunderstanding of my comment about it. If you want to push that further show me the pull request you are referring to.
Rejecting Documentation
Documentation source is found here https://github.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx-docs and formatted here https://docs.fusionpbx.com.
Actually there is only a few people helping with documentation. 26 total over the life of the documentation. Look at the pull requests are you seeing a lot of them rejected? https://github.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx-docs/pulls?q=is:pr+is:closed Notice it says only a 158 that's not a lot of pull requests. There is very few people helping with documentation. Is it hard to add to the documentation? Not really you just need a github account find a page click edit and start adding then save it as a pull request this can be done without knowing anything to do with GIT. We have instructions on github own how to contribute to documentation and there is a video on how to do it in https://youtube.com/fusionpbx.

This Forum
This is an unofficial forum. I haven't had time to make an Official Forum instead I used my time currently, helping people, fixing many bugs and improving FusionPBX to make an official forum. However, If you really have watched this forum in the past couple months you will see that I have been helping here currently 64 messages. I was hesitant especially at first because of the negativity used against me in some of the posts. Had people been kinder I would have helped more here in this forum sooner. Regardless I worked almost every day making FusionPBX better... I have been doing this for about 10 years or more.
Helping you or others with support
Support and help is given to someone almost every day sometimes paid work and sometimes free. And still work is being done fixing bugs, working on security improvements, polishing. This is a big project with a lot of people that want or need help. As this happens some are competing for my time using negative tactics and others are using positive. There are some people helping but resources don't meet the demands currently. So complain more and help make it worse or stop complaining and stop opposing things that are helping to make it better. Or volunteer to help or reciprocate in some way that help us to help you.
For those that want support go to https://www.fusionpbx.com and click on support there is a phone number listed there for support or email support@fusionpbx.com. Sorry not always available... so have to be patient and and try again. Limited project resources have consequences but progress is being made to change and improve this.
