I suppose that I’ll chime in here. Do pardon my delinquency in responding to the list. I tend to be fairly agnostic on these sorts of matters because: (1) I have considerably smaller time in the project than most of you, and (2) I have a serially agnostic temperament [personal issue :-)].
So after a year of participation in the project (Commons generally), I’ve seen and come to enjoy that development is an extremely lengthy process (and I believe for the better because it accommodates all necessary and sufficient deliberation). Thus, I tend to take a slow perspective on any of these changes realizing that I’m not going to be able to accomplish anything short of the long order of weeks (short order of months). With that in mind, I ask, what can I do to help [math]? What is “progress”? I think we could chip away at a 4.0 or a 3.7 release. I think we could go TLP? Either direction contains the same difficulty in that finding contributors in this domain is, apparently, quite difficult. Either direction requires a relatively prioritized backlog, so that’s been my intention thus far. And, further I plan to try to fix some of the bugs. As for the philosophy of the matter, I really don’t know what’s best. I do think that much of this is because [math] sits squarely in-between a TLP and a component that could be used by any application. So there. I’ve completely avoided taking an opinion one way or the other (agnosticism at it’s best). I’m more in the boat of what can I do right now to help.
