I've been pretty silent on these issues so far, not wanted to put a damper on new ideas and contributions, but looking at all the ideas makes me think you should really consider a true fork. You've proposed: * Changing the project goals * Changing the project tools * Redesigning the core of Cin * Rewriting the core of Cin I think you won't get much feedback from the older core developers since these goals are so large and you haven't tackled a smaller piece of Cin first. The other thing that comes to mind is that you shouldn't co-opt the Cinelerra name for a new project (Cinelerra 3) if Adam does not contribute a reasonable portion of the code. It is, after all, his video editor. As the Cinelerra 2 code base is GPL, you can certainly use portions of it for a new design with attribution to Adam. The amount of work proposed for the new project is not unlike the scope of a project we presently have running at work. It's probably a 10 year project until completion. I suspect the core contributors are not thinking about a full rewrite at this time. I'd like to hear their thoughts also, of course. -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
