Note that the platform strategy doesn't exclude a non-technical end user distribution. On the contrary, it supports it. It just moves it from the primary focus of the overall community to the focus of a dedicated subgroup.
What bothers me about all this "We will focus on this" and "We won't focus on that anymore" is that it's completely blurry.
If it is blurry, it is not in focus. That simple. :-) The concept of primary focus and 'focus of a dedicated subgroup' is irritating, indeed. It is like having two eyes staring into different directions.
That would at least match the chameleon physiology... :D
My point is, you say primary focus is here or there, and I am questioning whether you (pl.) are even in the position to declare such a statement when it's not even clear that the end-user area receives the most love right now.
We can, and we should declare goals. But nothing should prevent a volunteer to contribute outside of the declared goals or focii. Let's assume I am a contributor and I have a plan for myself (like, e.g. I hack this specific application until it behaves like it should).
The idea was to shed light in the area as to what happens when $contributors (@contributors even) as a whole do, in total, more work outside the goals. Then we've missed the goal -- or the goal has long been reached hehe. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
