I think it's better for all parties to go their own way now since there's no agreement and the communication is still on a bad level between certain people. This will at least keep everything calm. A bit competition shouldn't hurt after all... As someone pointed out earlier if someone disagrees with something try to build your own way around it to not cross each other's way. It might not always be the best way but it keeps projects running since it's only about drivers only support for various devices count. As for projects which are not included in the kernel and for people who do not get along with Mauro, the code can be submitted to the LKML and Andrew, Greg, Linus or someone else can also pick up the sourcecode. > People need to get over previous flame wars and get back to doing the > one thing that brought them into the linuxtv community in the first > place, community development. > It always requires 2 and more people .. I don't think that someone will start a flamewar if there wouldn't be so many disagreements.
