At least now it comes from official resources. The old third-party posting that promised there is "stuff" going on just gets claims of "bs". Now that it's been very clear that there are paid, full-time resources involved for some time it means there are results at then end of the wait (whatever the reason for the wait). Now, I have to say that tracking the "activity" of bugs is a bogus way to watch things. A year or so ago, I was the most frequent single face on bugzilla simply because it wasn't seeing much else. It was just organisation, based on having very little time to search. Now that there are dedicated resources and a wider audience (arguably filing lamer bug reports) the activity falls more in line with prioritising and based on effort of the now rather large internal group of developers (working full-time and far faster than third-party folks can keep up with). Sadly, while this does mean that voices, complaints etc are more readily heard and acted upon, it also means that the feedback loop is wider and the consideration of a wider audience delays actions. Those who have posted about wanting a mainstream market acceptance, welcome to the brave new world. It's nice to see the success, sad to see the expected door closure for those of us who have contributed to the core project. -kdf -kdf _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
