Intent is not enforced though. Too many times somebody copies a configuration from a thread not understanding how it functions. When it breaks a year later they get upset that we cannot just fix it. Users need to understand Thais configuration. I think that is why OH has a non functional demo config to illustrate functionality while giving hints fir users to adapt for their environment.
How about a different idea. How about you use your talents to further the cause and contribute in a more conventional manner then. There are other members who are seeking the same as you, to help less technical folks use OpenHAB. You seem to have created a web interface for OpenHAB. Are you aware a whole new interface is being worked on for the next version of OpenHAB? See here:. I somewhat understand their situation. I am personally working om some ideas around Docker.
Kai has already said, in private messages, that OH is not interested. Perhaps some day someone will even fork and improve on OpenHAB. This is an open source project - many OS projects are built on other OS projects, and we probably all need each other to thrive.
There are who knows how many variants of Linux out there - all looking to solve a different niche, but in general all building on the same core. I do feel that communities can possibly work a little better together rather than push people away when they propose something slightly different.
When I started the OH ZWave database 5 years ago I proposed to the open ZWave community to share resources with the database so we had a larger community - all benefitting from common inputs but exporting to our respective systems. This was rejected by OZW - they wanted to build their own system.
