The Acid tests are particular annoyance of mine. It's nothing to do with the content of the tests per se, it's just the way in which they are brandished like some kind of uber-badge of perfection. Tests such as Acid3 are just one of many important ways to evaluate the level to which a piece of software conforms to a standard. When a single test like Acid3 becomes the be-all end-all test, devs may feel encouraged to hack up their code just to pass the test, not to have compliant behavior in as many cases as possible. And how is the date that Webkit and Opera passed ACID3 relevant? Just say 'Webkit passes ACID3'. > or other "signs" > (Epiphany switched to WebKit, most successful devices like iPhone and Android > use WebKit, etc, etc). > Increased use of WebKit on mobile devices is definitely of interest. Of course, we want Meego to be *better* than the iPhone or Android, so we shouldn't just pick a piece of software because *they're* using it. Let's stick with more solid criteria such as speed, correctness of behavior (ACID, unit tests), accessibility, etc... > To become a success a mobile stack needs to select best open source > components and integrate them seamlessly and effectively I agree that this is a great recipe for success. > ...on best > platform (i.e. Debian) . LiMo is already doing this. I'm pretty sure that this particular debate is over. Nokia/Intel have made it fairly clear that Debian is not going to form the base of Meego, even if people continue to campaign for it Cheers, -- Robinson _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
