The Pacer EditionCMS
sharmpro:
Hi everybody,
personally I think the discussion about the fork is a good thing! It didn't really happened when was the time to talk about the future development of WB.
And this wasn't promoted by anyone of the existing community.
May be the 'status quo' is what WB wanted.
BTW feel free to use, modify, repack, bundle and possibly make some $$ out of the modules I released for the community, I did it exactly for these porpoises.
Regards
Stefano

Hello,
have downloaded the Pacer Editon and gave it a try on a local webserver (XAMPP 1.7.1). Installation stocked but a colleague changed something in the install script to get it running. However, non of the Pacer Functions worked for me or my colleague. Will try it again once a more stable version gets released :wink:.
Also looking forward to test the announced release candidate of WebsiteBaker 2.8. Good to see that things are progressing.
so long

As said above, it appears that the only purpose of this post was to blatantly advertise the pacer edition. Not to provide open discussion about it, not to clarify the reasons for its existence. It seems this post is only adding to the confusion. I might not have read clearly enough, however from what I have gathered I doubt I will support future posting about this fork as all it does is seem to cause FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt).
Argos:
Exactly.
BTW, nice to see you again, Ryan.

Ryan, nice to meet you! :-D
I think this thread shows a great discrepancy in the intentions of the Pacer Fork authors. They want the WB community to support their fork, well, they need the community to do so. But they don't seem to be willing to give the same goodwill back to the community.
There was a good reason to request the removal of EasyMenu from Pacer: That time, it seemed that they had stolen the WB Portable Logo for their CMS. (It's a strange behaviour, anyway, to not create a very new logo for something distributed under a very new name, too. It leaves a bad flavour.)
Of course, I was proud to see that EM was chosen to be bundled into another CMS. If the response to my request would have been less unkind, that guys would have proven that the misuse of the logo was a mistake. All they've proven instead is that they don't want to cooperate with the community. (Only as far as it's to their own benefit.) That's very annoying. :-(
I'm sure no one - especially not me - wanted to start a "religious war" here. Things started to get out of control when insisting on licenses instead of offering some will for cooperation. I'm sure the community will support WB Forks the same way it is supporting WB itself - but this is not the right way to introduce a fork. I think the damage that was done to Pacer is serious.
