Doable, and probably the easiest to get going - but also the hardest
to maintain. It doesn't seem to me like there are enough interested
parties to carry the load.
Ok, so here's the really hard question - do we have a community? The
number of people contributing to Tiles has grown from one to three (and
I haven't really contributed anything but ideas in a while). I don't
mean in any way to diminish the contributions of those who built Tiles
in the first place or initially moved it to the sandbox. But where does
it go in the future? I don't want to spend a whole lot of time lobbying
for and building a TLP for three people. I suppose we could get it
going to test the waters - if you build it they will come. But I'm not
sure if they will come yet. There's a lot of people who *use* Tiles,
but how many of them are legacy users who don't want to grow with it?
How many of them will be contributors?
I have the same questions. That's exactly why I don't think a Tiles TLP
is feasible at this point. Having a WC TLP will allow us to include
others and build more community. . .
I'd love to hear thoughts from people who have gone down this road with
other projects as well as from David and Antonio.
