While a lot of the details are over my head the ideas your talking about are
important.
We are not so good at long time planning in linuxcnc but it has seemed to work
up to this point never-the-less.
I see a few things coming in the nearish future that may put us in a position
of considering developing
a new version.
licensing is a bit of a mess right now - which limits who will use/develop use
if there is legal questions of use/distribution.
GTK3 is going to be a requirement especially if we want to stay current with
GLADE.
I see that pygtk is not going to be developed further, pyobject is the new
direction.
There is interest in deeper changes in linuxcnc, but I think it is quite
impenetrable, Michael being the real driving force
for new features, basically I think because he has spent the time to understand
it the best (and is interested).
May be at the point that a lot of code needs to be updated for the new
libraries (which I realize doesn't need to happen
right away) we might want to consider a rewrite to fix our licensing
inconsistencies and limitations of current structure.
By writing a new version there are no pressure to get it done right away, the
current version could continue.
I am wondering if its a case of 'start to build it and they will come' - to
help develop it :)
I guess the first thing to do is list what the goals are to see if it is worth
the trouble to get there.
Enjoying the discussion...
