Well Michael, very few have access to statistics. So the rest of use must simply guess what's going one. Based on my experience with the Lazarus project and what I have read in the mailing list, I made an assumption. I am very glad to see that the "resolved" line has followed the "unresolved" trend, though the gap between the too seem to larger now that it used to be. But that is probably due to Lazarus becoming a more popular project with more new users reporting issues. > If Graeme had spent his time and effort on helping out in the LCL, > instead of fpGUI, then the graph would have looked quite differently, > I'm quite sure. Michael, that would have been the logical choice, and something we have tried when we moved from Delphi/Kylix. Many off the issues we had was marked as "will not fix" in LCL (there is a wiki page listing a few). So even if I joined the LCL development team, there was no way I could change it in LCL. This is unacceptable for our type of application - hence I started work on fpGUI giving us no limits at all. The last think you want to hear is 'you may not do this, you may not do that etc.', and then having to explain that to the boss. The boss simply answers by saying: I hired a development team to create custom written software for our company, what I want, I want to get. I don't want to hear problems, just fix it! But this is getting off-topic, we are supposed to talk about the Lazarus project. > My conclusion: Graeme, stop focusing on what goes wrong, instead > see what goes right (the Graph Florian posted clearly shows that there is > progress). And I do suggest you make the jump to the LCL. Like I mentioned before, only a select few have access to the graphs. Everybody else has to guess how the Lazarus project is progressing. I asked Florian and will ask you too. Is there a way to save some of those statistics pages as static pages for the general public to view. Maybe the static pages can be updated once per month? -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
