Hi all,
iIve been getting requests to make information on supported/tested platforms
for Harmony code more prominent. AFAI understand, our major statement on
what platforms we work on is the Porting Matrix on the project's roadmap
page (somewhere nearer the end, scroll down hard) [1].
Do you think we could make this information more visible?
Yes - to me the roadmap page doesn't seem the right place to have our
current platform status. We should probably have some porting TODOs
listed there, but I don't think this is the appropriate place for the
current status to be displayed.
Creating and
maintaining a separate page with porting info could be helpful.
Agreed. It would allow those currently working on new platform ports to
also give some account of their status and any extra build instructions
if they wished - although a Wiki page may be more useful for this so it
can be easily updated. I don't have a strong opinion on how this is done.
It'd also
simplify translation of this info into other languages (i ran into the
necessity to link to porting matrix from starting pages on Russian). Yet
another step forward would be to relate the static info on supported
platforms with our testing infra.
Please express your opinion on whether this should be done. I'd be happy to
update the site as needed.
If it's possible to make that table more readable, that would probably
be a good thing too - I don't know if it's just my eyes, but I find it
hard to see exactly which + and ? belongs to which box! Perhaps a simple
color coding of each box would be easier to read than a "+" or "?"
character?
Thanks for volunteering to make this update!
Regards,
Oliver
