This is just a reminder that there are still six patches of me waiting on the reviewboard:
https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/88/ https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/92/ https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/80/ https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/95/ https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/81/ https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/91/ [This one also, but that one is currently being processed: https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/93/ Finally there are, https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/167/ https://codereview.secondlife.com/r/99/ ] Those six, together with a bunch of others that were processed in Januari were already done in December last year - but Oz told me not to post them because he wouldn't have 'reviewers' ready, so I waited three weeks. After being posted, seven more weeks have passed-- and all that time it seems to make no sense to do anything else: - Firstly, there are still patches out standing, what's the use to add more? It makes no sense to submit patches faster than they are processed. - Secondly, one of the reasons for the "trial" (I never decided to really come back, yet, I just wanted to give Oz' project 'snowstorm' a fair chance) is that I wanted to avoid putting a lot of time into viewer 2, only to have wasted that time when the trial failed; so I wanted to avoid putting time into snowstorm when it the current state is unsatisfactory. Thus, I have been working on other projects for 10 weeks now(!) (not viewer or even SL related), and it doesn't seem that things are improving. Two weeks ago I informed Oz about my upcoming decision, that I will be forced to take, to leave the snowstorm project when nothing changed (and before that I let him know my dissatisfaction plenty of times of course). I said I'd stick around one more month (that's till the end of March). I'm not blaming anyone in particular - I'm sure that the snowstorm team is heavily undermanned - but the result is the same: this open source project is a failure. The only solution that I can think of given the current situation is to trust good coders more and given them (me included) direct write access to viewer-development, so I can work at my own pace. A given fact is that when I work at my own pace you can not keep up with reviewing and testing... you have to leave that to me and trust that I do a good job. We did that with snowglobe and as you know all those patches were good (in the end everything was ported from snowglobe to snowstorm, too). I simply cannot work like this: I want to work on a project that I CAN work on at my own (high) pace. I don't have a lot of hope anymore, but fair is fair... if those six patches are in viewer-development by the end of the month then I'll give it a bit more chance. This mail is just informative.
