This thread is starting to look and sound like just a massive distraction. We already have quite a lot of very important things to do. I think one of the most important of which is get AppCenter to a shippable state.


New things are cool and fun and exciting, but if we really have the extra time and resources I think we should be focusing on making sure what we already have is the best it can be.




* There is still no search in Files

* We just picked up Photos which needs a lot of work to bring its UI into alignment with our other apps

* judging by the popularity of indicator synapse, we should probably investigate using libsynapse to improve the results in Slingshot

* We need to fix deprecation warnings involving granite and gtk

* Pantheon Online Accounts needs to be integrated into our default apps

* Indicators are holding us back from Pantheon running on other platforms and frankly their designs aren't the best they could be.

* Audience could use its UI re-written in GTK (instead of raw Cairo) now that we have things like overlay and revealer and can use custom CSS




I mean there are literally a couple thousand bug reports open right now.
Cheers,

Daniel Foré
