My impression, based on historical conversations with the parties involved is that there are a bunch of hackers who feel that we did ourselves a disservice by dropping _so much_ backwards compatibility, specifically with Unix filesystems and desktops, in exchange for cool ideas. The feeling is that had we traded compatibility for features less aggressively then there would be many more hackers available to help write the features since there would be many more hackers who felt it was possible to live within Sugar.
This is just an impression, however. Michael _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
