You won't get far with that statement here. One of the main types of communications in the OSS community is by "send to all" mediums: irc and mailing lists. Main reason for that is that there are often many people who are knowledgeable (much like in ZK, where you have multiple devs) and many who may be interested in the same thing.varikonniemi wrote:I do not want to dictate his daily tasks.

Color me unimpressed. He's the same guy that pushed Unity, is pushing UEFI secure boot, and is behind Ubuntu - which isn't really doing much for the rest of us (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2SED6se ... ge#t=1395s).Heck, even shuttleworth is accessible on a person-to-person basis. He put millions (billions) into his project and he still finds time to chat with me.
More importantly, he's not a dev, or at least you probably aren't approaching him as a dev.
Or not... There are probably valid reasons why it's done like that. Besides those mentioned above, it's probably easier to keep a log on help channels. It's clearly not up to any of us to dictate how people do support for their projects - it's free ffs!All i am really saying is that instead of making the pmsg ignore messages and autoreply to post to #zk make it say "sorry, ia am away now. please leave your message and i will come back to your issue asap".
