I've just started playing with Fabric, and I like your take on its functionality better. If they're resistant to merge you, why not fork into something new?

You definitely have something very useful there, from a casual read.

Whilst forking is always a possibility, I'd rather contribute back to the project and help improve Fabric collectively. The community is made up of really nice guys and it'd be great if we could figure out a way of getting the various ideas to work together.

Thanks for checking out the docs and your encouraging words!

Jeff mentioned on twitter that he's keen on merging some of the stuff post 1.0.

Yes. Those of us who have been in the Fabric community working with one another are aware of this. From my conversations on IRC with @tav, I thought he was as well.

It's always encouraging to see new people get involved. It's quite another to see someone relatively new to the community try to go around that community by announcing "new features" for a project they've barely started work on.

Sorry if that comes off a little bitter, but seeing this as the top post on HN today rubbed me the wrong way.
