      The @indie team is not great at being an open source project. Closed repos and a private alpha for donators to their social network. Lame

      .@BitPuffin We are not “an open source project”, we are an indie project. “Open source” won’t fix the problem we’re working on. +@indie

          @aral @indie Thought you were trying to solve the problem of web services being spyware? Which pretty much requires open source

          @aral @BitPuffin @indie - that’s really quite sad to hear. If your project isn’t open source, zero reason to be interested in it. :-/

          @aral @BitPuffin Thing is, it’s not about pleasing. For me it’s about collaboration. Being able to contribute is important.

          @aral @tom_gall being able to view the code and submit security patches etc is not against design-led development process

          @BitPuffin I think they will have it on public repo once early version is ready.Then, people will be able contribute/test etc. Right, @aral?

          @gKrishnaKS @aral Probably. Though the sooner the better. I think the current (private alpha) approach is ostracising though.
