--- Comment #92 from Aryeh Gregor <[email protected]> 2009-05-10 13:43:34 UTC --- It seems clear that there will be no fixed list of requirements. Either a LilyPond dev is willing to put in the work and submit it for eventual inspection when Tim finds the time, and is willing to then work on any totally new issues that might come up in the course of the review, without any advance guarantee that their work will ever get enabled on Wikipedia; or not. If so, that's great. If not, it looks like LilyPond support won't happen, and ABC will have to do. It's unfortunate that we don't have the resources to get every single bug fixed as nicely as everyone would like, but no software project does. There are thousands of open bugs here and a lot have unreviewed patches attached. If, in fact, nobody from LilyPond is willing to work on this without guaranteed returns (entirely understandable), and nobody on Wikimedia's side is willing to give guarantees in advance (this seems certain), then I suggest that everyone drop the issue until the status quo changes, rather than dwelling on it. Complaining is not going to give the relevant people more time that they can spend on things that are, to them, evidently low-priority. Now could I please ask everyone -- MediaWiki developers, LilyPond developers, Wikipedia users, and everyone else -- to stop using Bugzilla as a discussion forum, and only post further if you have anything to say *that will contribute to fixing the bug* (e.g., an expression of interest in working on a LilyPond solution, or a note on progress in enabling ABC). You're spamming a significant number of uninterested people with every uninformative post you make. The correct fora for recriminations and complaints (on both sides) are wikitech-l and/or lilypond-devel, if anywhere. If you really just have to respond to someone else's misplaced Bugzilla comment, you can do it by e-mailing them privately. Thank you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
