Hi,
Initially it seemed to me that I am about the only one sticking with mailing
lists.
And I personally feel like a too small contributor to really try to influence
your
decisions too much. But these recent hand full of mails all tell me that I am
not
that alone. I personally did contribute to several projects during the past
years.
All that only in part time, thus it had to be *very* efficient for myself. And
that is
something that I achieved by a consistent 'interface' to all those projects.
Just
my widely used and highly convenient mail client. So, all that worked in a
sufficiently
efficient way because I could combine this kind of 'work' even with my private
mail
that I could handle in between with that single 'interface'. So going to any
web site
there is already a detour and having multiple of them for each such project
gives an
even longer detour. Okay today it's mostly mesa that is left as well as a
communication
middle end used in vizsim applications. But going away too far away from a
mailing list
will be mostly a loss of efficiency for me.
As I said, my two cents, that should not keep you all from doing changes that
finally
increase your all efficiency ...
best
Mathias
Hi,
I have to add my voice here as well.
Even though I do not feel able to give review for most of the mesa code
base,
I appreciate to have all patches in the mailing list in my mail client.
From time to time, I give feedback for some set of patches, for example
when I see patches related to dri3 or that could impact Nine.
It also enables me to get an overview of all the recent works and new
features Nine could use.
I feel like if most patches go through MR without getting a mail
feedback, I would not be able to do those as efficiently.
I would appreciate if I could *flag* some files or directories, and when
a MR impacts those (for example dri3 files, gallium interface, gallium
Nine, etc),
I could get an automated mail with a summary of the MR, in order to
encourage me to look at it.
Yours,
Axel
