* suggestions on what could be improved to make Fossil easier to use for me
As a mere reader of the list, I have to ask: why should *the Fossil team*
consider this important?
You haven't presented any compelling reason to change significatively the way
Fossil operates, besides that it would be nice for you.
Am I missing something?
This is "fossil-users" mailing list, and it exists to share opinions,
problems, issues, suggestions and so on, would you agree to that?
Well, I shared some my problems and I proposed solutions I saw in other
projects for those problems. I am far from assuming that I am
exceptional, so I have to assume that there are other people who have
the same problems and who would benefit from the changes. Some of the
issues are caused by differences between fossil and other systems, big
enough to make learning curve too steep for my taste. The steeper the
curve - the less new people would adopt fossil. The less people use it
- the less new ideas, less improvements and evolution.
By the way, I do not propose any breaking changes. I propose adding new
concepts and commands and improve the way existing ones work, but those
are all non-critical changes. The only thing that needs careful
consideration is "combined databases", but it also could be implemented
without losing compatibility.
I do not expect anyone working on a free project to do anything for me.
I do not even expect any review or criticism, for that matter. No work
to share - no feedback, right? I would want to have my problems solved
though, and I am going to work and implement my proposals myself and
_then_ get review from people. If then people say "no way, we do not
need this in Fossil" - that's fine, that's how open project works. I'll
keep my changes in my local repository.
What I expected from this post is, well, to share my problems with the
community. There was a chance I could get a discussion on the problems
to better understand what people think and whether they find it
important or not. That could help me to set the right priority to my work.
