Hi folks. I have been suddenly reminded of the the Ubuntu Feature Freeze
on the 18th of February (that's in 10 days!) by comment #5 on the
following bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pitivi/+bug/506642
In that thread, from comment #6 onwards, I revealed some of my worries
regarding the fast-approaching Ubuntu deadlines and the current state of
PiTiVi. Vish then mentionned that he discussed with some devs (namely
Rick Spencer and Jono) on #ubuntu-desktop. I looked up the archives of
the logs, here they are if you are curious:
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/02/08/%23ubuntu-desktop.txt (look at
18:32)
In this discussion, it was suggested that a hackfest could be organized,
and I think that they have sent some mail to Edward about that. I wanted
to raise this on the mailing list because I'm still wondering about two
things:
1) What features and bug fixes should be considered the requirement for
the 0.13.4 release? In other words, when do we decide that we have
"reached" that release?
2) Do we, as a project, have a “failsafe” plan of holding back PiTiVi
from being included in Ubuntu 10.04 by default if we deem it “not yet
ready for mass consumption”? I am mainly concerned about the bad
publicity that it could get. However, maybe I am worrying too much and
users wouldn't really bash it for not having features XYZ (the usual:
transitions, effects, DV capture, poneys...), and maybe, on the complete
opposite of the worst case scenario, more users would be interested in
the software and more contributors would join... this is a delicate PR
situation.
By the way, I'm suspecting that many "rendering hangs at a certain point
during rendering" bugs on 0.13.3 might be due to the broken still image
support which was recently fixed by Brandon in pitivi git. Maybe I need
to NEEDINFO some of bugs asking if still images were in use.
