Vignatti: X Census (for 1.9)Vignatti: X Census (for 1.9)Posted Sep 2, 2010 17:23 UTC (Thu) by boudewijn (subscriber, #14185)In reply to: Vignatti: X Census (for 1.9) by ewan Parent article: Vignatti: X Census (for 1.9)
And if they don't they will never have something that's really polished and nice to use... Or maybe it's time to recognize that providing polish is development too -- you know, the last 10% that takes 90% of the effort and all that sort of rot.
And speaking for myself, again as a KDE developer and OpenSUSE user -- I am the guy who is producing new stuff anyway. Not Canonical, not RedHat, not Novell. Of course, I'm only working on an application... Not something hugely important.

What's your app? So I can see whether you're the one producing, and certainly not me (apparently).

Boudewijn is the lead dude for Krita (http://krita.org/).

And that's not something I would call "not hugely important". He's way too modest.

As Sho has said, I'm the maintainer of Krita. Though I'm certainly not the most productive developer on Krita -- there's a great team of wonderful people doing amazing stuff I wouldn't be able to do on my own -- I do feel I have over the past seven years gained something of an appreciation on how difficult it is to make something that is actually polished and user-ready.
For one thing, it's much harder than cranking out new stuff.
