Honestly, after 10 lines of reading the reasoning there I already gave up. My sincere hope is that we're not turning into a project that communicates like that. This project (blender) should be accessible for people who also are NOT into daily hardcore development. We always benefited a lot from (technical) artist involvement. So please design the system and UI with keeping other people in mind too? -Ton- -------------------------------------------------------- Ton Roosendaal - [email protected] - www.blender.org Chairman Blender Foundation - Producer Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A - 1018AD Amsterdam - The Netherlands On 14 Nov, 2013, at 18:31, Brecht Van Lommel wrote: > On Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 6:04 PM, Erwin Coumans <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Just some honest feedback: >> >> I find it a very confusing page, all about Phabricator and not about >> Blender, >> why all the references to Phabricator?
