Subject: [Cooker] Why ?? -- Maybe because : ?? And a solution ??

> Hi,

> I just read the "Why ?" thread.

> I suspect that the "because" is due to a couple of factors :

> 1.Time preasure - RedHat has released something, and Mdk is a
> rival, so it needs to follow.
>
> 2.Other events happening - there was some conference before the
> release or something, and the right people weren't always
> available, so some
> assumptions had to be made, and unfortunatelly some of these
> assumptions turned out to be wrong.
>
> 3.The requests for enhancements that people had posted weren't
> properly recorded and recognized by the people that assign to the
> Mdk developers tasks. I expect that Mdk didn't want to be lousy on
> the visual
> presentation, but due to confusion and overwhelming number of other
> issues, these did get overlooked.

> Not much can be done about 1., but 2. & 3. could potentially be
