X.Org Foundation releases X Window System X11R6.7X.Org Foundation releases X Window System X11R6.7Posted Apr 8, 2004 6:20 UTC (Thu) by raytd (guest, #4823)In reply to: X.Org Foundation releases X Window System X11R6.7 by wcooley Parent article: X.Org Foundation releases X Window System X11R6.7 Yeah, i know that the initial dispute was covered and the possibility of forks and a fragmented user base were pondered, but that's not exactly what i was getting at. I may be mistaken, but I have my suspicions that there was a hell of a lot more going on between Keith Packard, David Dawes and the other X developers than so-called governance issues and personality conflicts. I for one want to know what it was. IMHO, disputes like this are indicative of future problems in the process of F/OSS development, and I'd like to know what the problem really was so that similar situations can be avoided (if possible). Oh well, I guess if I might have the answers I seek were I more involved.
