I have to say the plan is a very good one.
My concern is how to prioritize this plan v.s. our current development
effort. xf86-input-wacom isn't in stable condition yet. Should we finish the
basic features first or do both in parallel? From users perspective, having
a stable driver is definitely the top priority. From long-term maintenance
and software best practice point of view, this plan has its importance too.
So, Przemo, a question for you. Are you interested in working with us to
get the basic features (by basic features I mean porting the features that
we have at linuxwacom to xf86-input-wacom) out first or does the ugly code
really reduces your willingness to make a contribution now? All effort is
extremely important to this project. I don't wan to lose even a bit of it.
