Ok, it then seems I misunderstood the complete discussion.. but I don't
think everyone was on the same thinking-plane as Robert is, and some other
people (the few that actually reacted) might have thought the same way I
have: the plan of creating a new API from the ground up.
This is something I don't think has any potential what so ever (just
restating my point here) for the reasons I posted in the other mail.
I'm all for cleaning up the current code, but not for changing things around
"hoping" it will end up faster and lighter (I strongly believe it won't)
To reply to Raymond's disullisioned problem quote:
"To be honest I was a little disillusioned with the overall response to what
I was proposing. And I'm certainly not interested in expending a large
amount of my time for nothing."
That's just part of my problem as well.. people seem to like discussing
things (I'm one of them) but almost nothing is being done! This is what I
see as the biggest problem with the DynAPI2. I have now read numerous posts
of people saying that they fixed bugs, created great add-ons.. great, BUT
SHOW US. don't tell us you did it, and it works, and it's better..give it
up! (read the LICENSE agreement).
Everyone saying that the current API could be improved alot is correct, but
not for the reasons they give, but for the fact that if everyone would start
sharing there work more it would have grown faster.
Ofcourse, Raymond, your ideas are great and planning things is fine (as long
as we're planning the enhancement and continueation of THIS api).. but if
planning is all that's being done by people, then I'd rather not
participate...and I fear that that's the case (as usual)
"<emotes> flips blow torch in the air and extends the hand towards the rest
of you all."
lets see who will reach towards it then, just don't get disillusioned
again...
