"supposed to run" is quite unspecific. I took it to mean "on what kind of system should we expect gub to work in its current state", not "what kind of system dependency are we free to introduce into gub". There are quite few people actively working with gub and/or able to deliver qualified feedback, so for the sake of not introducing dead ends that will be hard to get out of again in future for either you or others, it would make sense if you did not just ask sort-of generic questions and made decisions based on answers or non-answers but actually explained what you are intending to use that information for. That will give also sort-of dormant developers a chance to notice, and voice objections that they know or feel to be relevant. That will, of course, make for messier back-and-forths and decision-making but the result will be that actually a decision has been made on some sort of consensus, and with the input of people with different focus the likelihood that some of them will run into roadblocks when they do try to reengage with development is less. Thanks for working on this! -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
