I don’t anticipate including the desktop app in the first release - I think the main (if not exclusive) focus should be on DocFormats, given that’s had the most attention from participants to date. And if my understanding of the rules is correct, there is no problem with us including sample code that demonstrates one way in which someone might construct an editor, *even if* that was entirely dependent on Qt (which it won’t be, as outlined int he framework). > Part of the reason for incubation is to provide a learning curve for the new > project with respect to how ASF projects operate and the basic principles > and, in some cases, specific policies. > > It is not at all unusual that there will be some deconstruction of natural > inclinations and suppositions when the constraints on being an Apache Project > are encountered and then dealt with. My natural inclination is to find solutions to problems so that the goals of whatever projects I’m working on can be achieved. This is one such case, and what myself and others in this discussion are doing is trying to move forward, rather than just give up at the first hurdle. I’m not going to have that particular natural inclination being “deconstructed” or “dealt with”. And I’m not going to abandon Apache because of this, because as has been explained elsewhere, there are ways in which we can achieve our goals while complying with the rules. — Dr Peter M.
