We | don't yet have a replacement programmer for Sean, we're waitng on | Pono | for the go ahead to contract a replacement. Sean has actually kindly | offered to help with merge request reviews as a volunteer to help | cover | the missing balancing we were getting between out two devs. | | But after talking with Roland Taylor, our issues administrator for | the | program; he'd like to be able to use some of the time to work on | fixing | issues with the new rendering engine work too. This is born out of | the | success of the program so far and how much help he thinks I need with | the engine branch. I agreed that I could do with the help and rather | than go through a whole process to hire that help, we can use the | hours | we've already budgeted to make sure this lands safely and with as few | issues out the gate without interfering with older bugs he'd | prioritise | as needed. | | I come to you with a simmple vote: | | ------------- | | Allow Roland Taylor to schedule Bug Accelerator hours for developers | to | help fix issues with the new rendering engine as he sees fit | according | to the priorities of making Inkscape 1.5 a solid release: | | 1) Allow | 2) Disallow | 3) Something else | | -------------- | | Now that I'm mostly recovered from my appendix surgery, I'll be | trying | to get that second developer sorted out but pushing the SFC some | more. | Sorry for the delay there. | | Martin, | _______________________________________________ | Inkscape Board of Directors mailing list -- | inkscape-board@lists.inkscape.org | To unsubscribe send an email to | inkscape-board-leave@lists.inkscape.org |
