Pretty positive overall, and the negatives he mentions are fairly
obvious to anyone paying attention. D would really benefit from a
project manager, which I think Martin Nowak has tried to do, and which
the companies using D and the community should get together and fund
as a paid position. Maybe it could be one of the funding targets for
the Foundation.
If the job was well-defined, so I knew exactly what we're getting by
hiring that person, I'd contribute to that.
Didn't intend to chime in, but no, that was not what I have meant at
all. My stance is that as long as current leadership remains in charge
and keep sames attitude, no amount of money or developer time will fix D.
What is the point in hiring someone to manage things if Walter still can
do stuff like -dip1000? For me moment of understanding this was exact
point of no return.
Whoever acts as a project manager would need to be given the ability to
override W&A as far as process is concerned. They shouldn't be able to
create said process, but should be able to enforce it.
Remember their job would be to facilitate communication within the
community not deal with burn down charts. Ensuring DIP's and spec remain
up to date is a big part of that.
That is why I suggested it originally. It minimizes a lot of the
existing problems we have had for years.
