It is by invitation only.

The current problems with Lazarus-IDE as I see it:
- The IDE looks like something from the year 2002. If new users look at
the IDE then they
might think that you can only develop old fashion ugly programs with it.
- IDE doesn't look good on high dpi screen. Form designing is hard on
high dpi screens.
- The debugger is bad. (can't inspect objects)
- Multiplatform isn't working. No GTK3, no QT5, no Cocoa on the Mac, no
64 bits on the Mac.
They only platform that really works is Windows. (but we had Delphi
already)
- It might be better to drop all those native widgets sets (and the LCL)
if you can't get it to work
and put your development energy in the QT framework for all platforms.
- Development is still in subversion SVN. I hate SVN (and i'm not
alone). Please switch to GIT.
Nobody is using SVN. Even Microsoft is using GIT! (well...sometimes).
- Stop trying to be compatible with Delphi. Delphi is a non standard.
Try to make something
better then Delphi.
- Stop thinking "one size fits all". Lazarus is getting more and more
behind supporting new
technologies. It's just to much to cope with (or too few fpc/lazarus
developers).
- Not important but drop the name Lazarus. I hate religious names. Just
pick something from
Star Wars or Star Trek or some other high tech science fiction. Nerds
and geeks will understand
this :-). Lazarus in Dutch is a drunken man. Everyone start looking
odd if I'm saying "I'm
developing in Lazarus".
Just a few things you can send to the developers list.
Maybe some of my points make sense, maybe not, but whatever you main
developers do:
"keep the fun going!"
regards,
Erwin
