Dan, if you're referring to the EFL community, then I really think you should look at just how many active contributors we have. The number of people contributing to CVS is tiny, I wouldn't exactly use the word "perfect" to describe this situation, unless of course you think that 5 or less people contributing code and a couple hundred users that like to experiment with "alternate desktop environments" constitute what you'd call a "community working perfectly well". In 10 years time, we've made almost no noticible progress when it comes to growing the EFL developer or user base. We're still regarded as a niche and elitist group both in developer and user land. I believe its time to change the rules of the game and see what happens, specially given the fact that developers backed by companies are showing interest in contributing code under LGPL (and are starting to pave the future path of the EFL by doing so). -- Hisham Mardam Bey http://hisham.cc/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
