I agree on this but to me the basic DTP tasks that needs care are not B?zier curves - that's a feature for advanced users. I'm more concerned with much more basics DTP features, like : copy and paste (or import page) should not mess layout and styles, undo endofparagraphe-delete should not mess layout and styles, text layout should not shrink in some special situations... - just to mention some of the "most annoying bugs". > when a task gets bigger and the care team gets smaller, one way to get the > job done is to reduce the size of the task. > of course, that's the not the only solution. you can also enlarge the team. > or get along as good as possible without any > change and hoping for the best. > you're in the position of picking the one you prefer. AFAICT The strategy of the dev team is different : its to take the time it takes to do the job. No fantasy here :-( just real :-) limited but effective work. Today, however, I'm a bit concerned with how this type of work will tackle the basic DTP bugs (the one i mention at the begining of this mail) that might require to dive deeper into the code.
