In a message posted today on the Haiku-Web mailing list Koki said the following:

 Howdy,

I know I have said or implied this a few times in the past, so feel
free to chuckle/laugh at me if you want (I deserve it), but this time
it is real: I am leaving the project for good.

As for the reasons, I will spare you the details, and will just say
this: Haiku was a lot of fun at the beginning, but this last year or
so for the most part it's been dealing with boring stuff that nobody
else wants to take care of, egos, indifference, hypocrisy,
misunderstandings based on assumptions, and even a few personal
attacks. This is not fun at all and I don't find it worth making the
effort and sacrifice anymore.

So, farewell and good luck with Haiku (Inc. or otherwise).

Jorge

Personally, I am sad to see him go as, at least IMO, he brought tremendous knowledge and marketing experience (along with all of his other contributions) to the Haiku community.  I would like to wish him farewell and good luck in his future endeavours.

	Yes, I think it's very bad. Koki gave a lot of time and effort and brought very much knowledge to the project. I don't understand people who can't treat others with respect. I want him back!

	Koki and I have had our disputes and often we did not see eye to eye on issues but in the end if you overlook that, you can see how many good contributions he made to the project.
