does that mean that: * discussion isn't needed, we all know where we're going (in which case: where is that?) * discussion would help, but isn't happening (in which case: what kind of discussion should be happening and where? and let's set it up. irc meetings are a great way to kick it up a notch) > > * What have been the defining achievements in the last year? > > Best I can come up with -- but then I'm not in much of a position to know > what Solid *should* do, so for me it's a matter of "USB plugging works on > my systems" -- is that there are better plans for UPnP integration across > the KDE desktop, with at least three "rival" non-communicating disconnected > efforts going on (Amarok internals, coherence, Jolie and network:/ are > keywords here). jolie doesn't actually do UPnP, it jut connects together the pieces once you know where they are. we still need a proper announcement and discovery service and are planning on using UPnP; i'd prefer to use a KDE framework, e.g. coherence, than roll our own in plasma (obviously :) .. and that's why i'm doing this: to expose what's happening and where we can work together better. so ... can someone expound on Coherence a bit more so i can include something coherent (ha! ha!) about it in the introspective? > I'm not sure that this list (as distinct from what > Solid does) is in any shape to answer as comprehensively as you have. i think you're doing a great job with these emails so far, so have faith :) note that plasma is a hard act to follow in this regard. the plasma team is a little obsessed with the topics of design and direction. i don't think many other kde projects can match plasma in that regard ... *yet*. and that's what this introspective is all about, actually, helping improve this area for everyone :) -- Aaron J.
