Read your own press release again. It doesn't contain the word
'experimental'. Instead you emphasize 'official subproject' several
times and thereby create the false impression that the decision, that
Tine will be the future technological base of eGW, has already been
made by the project as a whole.

I really appreciate your effort to modernize eGW, but IMO you should
also take into account that the other project members, who are not yet
fully convinced of your proposal, need some kind of protection of their
investment into the existing framework. This is essential and it would
be good if you could stop ignoring this. And it is also to your own
advantage if the customers are still using eGW at the time when Tine
may be ready for productive use. It's not good if you base all your
decisions on the displeasing quarrel which occured.

IMO eGW indeed needs a double-track approach, but members of both
groups really should consider the interests of the opposite side as
well. Please don't act against each other, but settle your differences,
make agreements with the necessary allowances and stick to them. The
project has only a chance of you build the future together.

Kind regards,
Manfred
