thanks for the article.

I just have a couple of notes on it.

"an inside joke that was nice enough, but stupid."

I don't think I used this exact sentence, and if I did then I feel the need to apologise for that. what I meant (and I think I said, but I always end up riffing on my notes during a talk) is that the "actors" inside joke worked while we had stages, actors, behaviours, and actions, but since we don't have them any more, it'd be pretty stupid to reuse that terminology.

my point about the "draw" virtual function is that it's not also a signal, unlike currently with ClutterActor's "paint" signal and GtkWidget's "draw" one.

Oh, I don't think it came across as anything other than a comment that the naming motif was harmless fun that made sense in the earlier context but wouldn't add anything in the new context.

Thanks for mentioning the signals issue as well; I have some of that here and there in my notes, but not in sufficient detail....
