Yeah I guess that's the crux of it really...
I also hope there's _genuine_ & thorough collab/openness, to the point
that *longer-term* there's a chance of a merger (of sorts).
But all that's probably dream land stuff... :-(
I have to pitch in with my point of view here. Firstly - hey to everyone
, it's my first post on the list . I've been on the list for a long time
, because I liked the idea of the Mer project from the beginning , but I
haven't posted , because I didn't have much to contribute .
I'm watching the Ubuntu project too , but to take part in the events
at hand I can only be in a ambassador-like role . The thing is that
Ubuntu wants to control the whole stack , and from what I've seen/read
that's why there wasn't much of a talk with the Wayland developers (OR
they really thought that their idea was incompatible with Wayland) .
Whatever the ground for their decision was the fact is that Cannonical
isn't a communist government and if enough devs ,affected by their
decision, come together and demand an explanation and to work out the
problem - Cannonical will have to anwser (as we know they are are least
PR-conscious ) .
On the ~"Mir convergence" UDS session after I asked about the lack of
cooperation somebody else (nickname:pixelpapst) asked the Mir devs to
make a list of features that Wayland is lacking and Ubuntu needs . That
list is not going to go live unless there is some pressure applied from
the people interested to get and resolve it . But for that to happen
there must be a communication point (forum/list) where these people will
gather and decide on the actions to be taken specifically . So if anyone
here is interested or has an idea - do tell :)
