ummm... in some places digital creativity in a tru muft and mukt sense sucks on FOSS. but in some places it suddenly rocks and delights. and more than often, some things are suddenly and sporadically developed when you least expect them. in other places, development just halts for no reason.... so the real challenge for a creative person is not to be this 100% helpless, dependent slave of tools and just lie wounded on the canvas. the real challenge of creativity is to find ingenious solutions to bottlenecks or roadblocks in using muft and mukt solutions... both digitally and analog or creatively... when we confuse production with creativity we hit the real bottleneck. > > At the moment, I am waiting for the production folk to take a > decision on how to proceed.
