E still has old school people who liked their unix desktops from the 80's and 90's and don't see reasons to redesign it... but then again feel a need to make things still nice and flexible. > I came to Enlightenment mainly through pursuing Wayland.

TBH most modules are not well maintained and bit-rot. they depend on internal interfaces in e and that's the nature of them. they have to adapt as e changes because keeping a "stable abi for modules" is just too insane a task. > 3.

Are these all collected in one place ? not really. ask questions. check enlightenment.org. look at git.enlightenment.org ... :) > Michael Freeman > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-users mailing list > enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users > -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
