All participants need to take responsibility for being situationally aware to keep things from spiralling out of control. The person starting this conversation is not involved in the work. Because of that there is no initial clarity or statement of purpose..no expert opinion to rely on at the outset. The people involved in the work are bravely walking into a discussion they didn't expect to be having at this point in time to pour water on reactions that have already grown somewhat overheated by the lack of clarity which was created through no fault of their own. > It looked like a bunch of kiddies who had never used remote X > applications had decided we didn't need to do that anymore, and it was > more important to get kewl features like smooth scrolling and rotating > 3D whatnots.

If you thought that, if anyone thought that, they are bringing a huge amount of mental baggage into the discussion with them and are setting everyone up for a passionate overheated argument instead of a dispassionate informative discussion. A quick look over at freedesktop's git at the people who have had personal wayland branches in recent history would eradicate this particular characterization. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
