Tres, I have no idea why you have adopted such an antagonistic attitude
in this issue. Maybe we can both take a step back and calm down a bit?
I'm not trying to dismiss your opinion or anything.
Sure, we can seek help, and we're already doing that. Everyone is
welcome to join in LMMS development and contribute in whatever way they
can.
You mention limited resources, which is very true - we're severely
lacking in developers. If we do manage to hire a paid developer to work
on LMMS for a limited time, that is also another limited resource. So it
comes down to plain old logic and resource management: we have both our
own limited resources, plus the limited resources we've "bought", and
each of those resources should be utilized in such a way that we're
utilizing the overall resources most efficiently.
Ergo: it's best to use our own resources (ie. our current volunteer
developers) for things which they are capable of doing, and save the
"bought" resources (ie. paid developer) for things that we're not
capable of implementing on our own. Because otherwise, we're just using
all resources on things we could be doing on our own, and the things we
can't do on our own are left undone - and when that includes fundamental
things like the core, that will mean that we'll run into problems later
on... which ultimately will mean that even the improvements we did get
done will go to waste.
Does this make sense to you?
