Having both the general interest poll and FutureHaikuFeatures has been
on my mind for the past few days. What would happen if one differed
greatly than the other? How much longer are we willing to delay R1?
How many features are we willing to strip from R1 (even ones that are
in BeOS R5)? ... this concerned me and is why I didn't move on this sooner.
The only thing that consoles me about having the two polls is that I'm
confident that the outcome of the general interest poll will carry some
type of weight in the final decisions about R1 -- even if that weight
is only each individual contributor taking the results into consideration.
Basically, I'm in favor of our typical meritocracy + thoughtful
consideration to community input approach and hope that things will work
out (at least well enough, so as to keep moving towards R1)
And yeah, either (or both) the Trac or Drupal page should have some
text to explain how that will work.
