Perhaps this is merely a reflection of the difficulty of finding where to download the measurement scripts? I found them (here: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/play.html ) but, it took some clicking. Maybe a github link on the front page, or similar, would alleviate some of the frustration the previous poster had about it.

I assumed the sources were available, somewhere, but until I went looking for it, I wouldn't have been able to say so with confidence. That's not an obligation, of course...volunteers should feel free to do whatever they want with their projects. But, if you wanted to keep the community involvement the game had historically, linking source in the lingua franca of the day (github or gitlab, or whatever, seems pretty standard today) would go a long way.

Perhaps, so I just googled "download benchmarks game scripts" -- 4th URL on first page of results.

Perhaps it's merely a reflection of wanting some one else to do work we choose not to do.

(You'll find that there already are duplicates of the benchmarks game repos on github).

"Perhaps it's merely a reflection of wanting some one else to do work we choose not to do."

Entirely valid position to take. There's only so many hours in a day, so many days in a year, and so many years in a life.

rurban (and frik and wulfklaue) do not seem to feel that it is a valid position for me to take.

Yeah, they're wrong. Offering polite suggestions is one thing, demanding volunteers do things in some specific way is entirely another.

Do it the way you want to do it. Unless someone is paying you or you want their specific help with something going forward, I don't see any obligation on your part to listen to demands.
