Hi David and Ed and Jim,
Thanks for chiming in. I'm glad I'm not alone. I completely agree that
bugs should come first, period. That goes without saying. My previous
question about weighing by stars was intended to be specific to
enhancements and feature requests. You're right, bugs should never be
weighed by stars.
I think GWT is going through some growing pains right now, and I feel this
is exactly the kind of discussion that needs to happen. All the better that
Daniel K. and Thomas B. are chiming in as well.
David, I saw your recent
comment<http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=1328#c11>in
issue
1328 <http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=1328#c11>,
and you made some very good points. In particular, you reminded me that
many GWT users (probably the vast majority) are working in the corporate
sector and need GWT to be a professional-grade tool. I can also relate to
your point about having to come up with a workaround, and then not being
able to contribute it back. I'll probably post back here with your full
comment.
Thomas, thanks for your in-depth response. That was very thorough. I
intended my questions to be more general though (I was just citing the top
open issues as an example). After bugs, which come first, does the Steering
Committee have some set protocol for triaging issues (questions 1 & 3,
above)?
And a follow-up question: Making GWT more maintainable makes perfect sense,
so I understand the need to modularize GWT by externalizing several
components. *But*, does that also imply that the Steering Committee as a
whole would be effectively washing its hands of any responsibility to
externalized components?
By the way, I do want to give props to Daniel and Thomas for entering the
discussion so quickly. It's a nice change from the AppEngine forum where we
often feel left in the dark.
