Hi Charles, Well, I think I do. The fact of the matter is most people don't really know or fully realise how developers work, operate, etc. Most projects have a roadmap, sort of a master todo list/schedule, that states what needs to be done and when the developer plans to work on that particular issue. Linux projects, for example, generally have a public roadmap you can read online that gives you a rough idea of what Gnome 3.2 willl contain as well as other updates or changes to various programs. Well, I'm no different in that respect other than I never publish my notes online. Perhaps I should start doing it.
Basically, I have this master list that says ok, joystick/mouse support isn't working, so I'll take it out and add it before 1.0 goes live. If I need to I'll use the DirectX input libraries for it until I find another way to do it properly with SDL etc. Since I haven't made my master notes publically available I think people like Mattheus assumed the worst. I removed joystick support in beta 19 so he assumed it was perminitly removed rather than temperarily removed. I see where he got his assumptions even though it turns out to be a bit eronious and short sighted because he isn't seeing the big picture here. Cheers!
