That is true, the gfx stack on OI has been stuck for years and what is even
worse, nowadays we have powerful mobile devices that could provide a very nice
user experience. But as we know as well the nasty and really difficult bug that
prevents leveraging the NVIDIA gfx is something that requires some really good
kernel expert (just to get into). And we just do not have the people to do
that. They are stuck with other topics.
Btw, you mention postings in the PR‘s. Why not doing it like the Mesa mailing
list where a broader range of people would get informed? And we do not have an
unstable but just encumbered branch which is not being used for it but vlc,
fs-uae etc.
We have our mailing lists and Github already. Using more ways of
communication only make it harder. It's simply that we don't have enough
volunteers. Most people expect to get
services like it is offered from paid products just without the payments.
It is not about willing to help but the lack of expertise that at least applies
to me. I know the BSD community is by far larger than the OI one and they
solved a lot of the things OI has (if it survives as a desktop) to tackle.
Surely illumos-gate (and its forks have a commercial motivitation) so I not
concerned about the desktop.
I have also started with little knowledge. The way to success is not to
talk but to act.
And as old as Solaris 11.4.42 CBE is, I prefer more and more its core (which
can be extended via OSS) and run other OSes in the Virtualboxes of Solaris.
Cheers
