[wx-discuss] wxWidgets version 3?

[Julian Smart]

It would be fantastic to have such a large amount of help.

My suggestion (in the context of what Stefan was saying) is
to go with a Stefan-oriented wxTNG vision, and have Stefan manage it.

I think, at least for tricky design problems, that occasionally
it would be good to have input from others -- but this would
be strictly controlled to avoid impeding the creative process.
They would purely be suggestions feeding in to Stefan's decision-making
process and presented in such a way as to avoid sapping morale.
One way to achieve that might be to have suggestions made to a tracker
or in a Wiki so that we don't get heated discussions on mailing
lists; then Stefan can pick and choose from the information.

I know this goes against normal open source development of an
_established_ project, but we want to try to recreate conditions
of a project before it goes public, where fast progress is made
and of necessity big decisions need to be made quickly.
There can be a place where people note their own opinions, but
this should not stop progress.

Quite possibly Stefan may be open to commissioning reports,
as it were, for specific design issues. I.e. there
could be a task force looking at ways of retaining some compatibility
in a particular area, from which Stefan chooses (or chooses his own
solution). Similarly someone might implement a particular class design.

Regards,

Julian
