[Chandler-dev] R: chandler-dev Digest, Vol 48, Issue 9

[Piero Giuseppe Goletto]

+1 with Andi, with some thoughts:

"""
We're four years late in the 2002 promise of getting a user-ready release
out the door. During this time, we haven't much worked with the outside
world apart from a committed group of about a dozen very early adopters. It
is high time we switch gears and become more responsible to our users:"""

--> early birds on 0.7.x (any of 0.7 release cycle)?


"""The last thing we need, though - right now - is another big bang, another

let's start from scratch with a new approach project. Instead, I think that
we  should improve, refactor, excise, rebuild, replace, small and large
parts of the software that need it one piece at time."""

--> radical improvement as soon as a feature is delivered?


"""We've been promised funding until the end of 2008."""

Then we need a strong user base by then.


"""OSAF's ultimate goal, I think, should be a community of itchy hackers 
creating, supporting and maintaining open source applications for the
general  public and not just for themselves."""

Andi, my vision is _minimally slightly_ different from yours as I mean both
for the general public (_users_) and _application developers_.



Heikki: +1 when she says:

We could get big improvements by having a small task force
rewrite/rearchitect pieces (like UI) of the app while the rest of the
team fixes regular bugs and builds new features. 

Hello everybody
