aka Uri Sharf
1. Have no idea why my name was initialized
2. The editor took my letter and combined it with some text ("the intro") that
Doron Offeck wrote when he forwarded my letter to somone in Walla!
3. Walla then took the Doron's words and attached them to my letter. Which
starts off with "Al pi katava ..."
4. pr_at_hamakor is involved and we are trying to get Walla to correct the text
ASAP.
Mind you, reading their introduction, rather than admit and say "We were
stupid enough to publish an article without actually reading the original
text (in German)" they chose to say "the Israeli OSS community is furious.",
indicates they are professionaly incompatant at least, if not trying to
create drama to hide their stupidity.
Hope this will be corrected soon.
