I think questioning someone's priorities in an open source project is generally not polite, unless there is some direct relationship between different tasks. For example, if someone introduce a new feature (let's say support for parts of the FooML language) and it had lots of bugs, it mig

I'm really surprised that other members of the community are questioning your priorities. You're free to work on whatever you think is important. That's the first principle of open source software outlined in The Cathedral and the Bazaar: http://catb.org/esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-b

My two cents are that you can pick the priorities for your own contributions. If you think this work is more important than working on LayoutTests, I think that's your decision to make as a contributor to the project. I have some technical questions, but we can discuss those on the bug. Adam O

I changed the cc list the patch should be there now hmm not sure why it did not go on the initial submit. I don't know anything about the layout test issues. The patches relationship to the gtk port itself is minor its the one I happen to use. The gtk specific issues have a lot more to do with th
