      What really is irritating is that you do not seem to "get" open

      very good for the community.
     
     
And I have heard opensource also means that people inform
the community before changing other people's work.
Maybe I didn't get it indeed...

      Bottom line AV, your fork hurts the -community-, IMHO.
     
     
I enjoy working in a community as long as I
feel treated in a fair way.

Your wrong, I didn't do that before.
I didn't meet anyone I couldn't get along with, before.

That's a very kind offer.
If I had the old package name, source in "/CFEditor" and the
former indenting style - I could easily merge my stuff in cvs
and abandon the forked version.

PS.: By "former indenting style" I mean this:

if (expression) {
    statement;
    statement;
}

on cvs currently, most files contain this:

if (expression)
    {
        statement;
        statement;
    }
