I think that all platforms should be thread equally
and I think that we definitely have to have the metrics to measure all
the improvements, if not, IMHO (I really meant this), it's not fear and it
also may discurage other non-unix platforms hackers.
I agree with you, Jordi. Unfortunately, EAZen runs AbiWord on Linux, so he doesn't exactly get to see firsthand what changes get made on QNX or Win32. I just saw your new font-preview today at work (I have an NT4 machine now). I must say, it looks really nice.
Uwog attaches lots of eye-candy to his emails, and eye-candy gets noticed quickly by reporters and users alike. Finally, most of the sites where the AWN gets read (besides AbiSource.com) are Unix-related sites (LinuxToday, GnomeDesktop, LWN, ...). In this regard, it sort-of makes sense to have a Unix bias to the reporting.
Your work is *very* much appreciated by myself and the other developers. Your work should definitely get more credit in the AWN. I suppose you could help that happen by attaching more screenshots and writing longer commit emails, since a lot of us don't have access to Win32 machines to try things out on. It's just a thought. I've tried out the April 1 Win32 nightly build today. It looks great!
Well, I appreciated your grettings, my point was that we should give equal credit to all-platforms, including Mac, QNX, etc.
I think that I made my point and I agree will all opinions!
BTW, I hope that I can make it this summer to the dirty-old-town (Atha Cliath) (well, it's getting more clean and expensive with the years) and see Martin's presentation, that BTW looks cool! :-)
Thanks to all.
