I tend to agree with Henrik here. Pluggable gesture recognizers is nice, but I don't see it as a necessity or even something that will likely be used very frequently. I think we should keep it in mind for a possible revision to geis (2.1 maybe?), but not as a core piece of functionality we should spend time on right now. I'm afraid we've already got too much on our plate :). -- Chase _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
