unless you're willing to do a lot of work on gnome to support things like: rotation protocols/hints between wm and clients indicator services (with shm + protocol) vkbd support (with all the extensions on scim we have added etc.) and more... gnome isn't viable as it'd be nothing like tizen. > In regards to a mobile device for developers, why not offer a > device that is an actual usable phone that developers will use daily? > It is more likely that a developer will "scratch the itch" for a usable > device that is in their pocket than they will for a device that sits on > the shelf. i wish we did. i have been yelling/grumbling/complaining/writing emails and more to people for years. since before tizen 1.0 even was out. it hasn't been done. it should have been the first thing we did at tizen 1.0 - a reference phone that you can buy and use. updated every year or so to stay representative of what hardware is at today. it has nothing to do with making money and all to do with seeding ecosystem. but hey - no one is doing this, or has done it for years, so what do you think the chances are of someone doing this now all of a sudden is when even the insiders can't get any movement on it? > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general > -- Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general
