One of my fears about cinelerra is that there are a lot of git code branches out there, each doing its own thang, and I wonder how much good effort will ultimately be effectively wasted. Looking at http://www.pipapo.org/pipawiki/Cinelerra/GitBranches is enough to make most people's head swim at what's available. Look at one of the descriptions: "ct My branch/fork of cinelerra. Fixes, code cleanup and redesing regardless of upstream mergability." My fear is that Cinelerra wont progress, but will just move around in circles, with users being left to decide which branch might best suit their needs.
I almost feel there should be a committee of developers, perhaps like the PEP proposals of Python, or soemthing. Its purpose it to access one fact - the intergrability of any change. We basically want to know if any change will conflict with the change of anyone else, and work out ways of mitigating the problem. Just thinking out loud, you understand. ----- Original Message ---- From: Christian Thaeter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: cinelerra@skolelinux.no Sent: Tuesday, 14 August, 2007 11:28:58 PM Subject: Re: [CinCVS] WHERE CINELERRA IS GOING? ...anyone? The downside is that we massively lack developers, unfortunally many previous contributors fallen away because they finished university, got new jobs or whatever. We aim to make cinelerra3 a open project where anyone can join and help as much as possible! If you are coder and interested, just join us. ___________________________________________________________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint? Visit Yahoo!
