RE: Confidence
Hey Euman,
If you've got the courage to write a win32 prog without the aid of
win32lib then you are just the type of person that should be helping the
win32lib team. I'm not an official member but I've sent plenty of
emails to David Cuny (way back whan) and Derek Parnell when I've found
issues. You don't need to know how to fix it, you just need to expose
the problems.
In the past, some of my inquiries and/or requests have gone unanswered
but I would imagine that these guys get tons of stuff in their boxes and
even less time to respond to them all (or remember to do so). But it's
difficult to know if your input is being heard when there are no new
releases. So Derek... what the heck is holding version 0.56?
The only way you can get feedback and bug reports is with frequent
releases. My feeling is that these should come out at least once a
month, even if it only fixes a few bugs. I know I've given you email
that fixes at least one bug and/or have given you at least one possible
addition to the lib.
Do I have to officially join the win32lib team to have my emails / bug
reports / input considered? If I join, do I get a copy of the 'bleeding
edge' every few weeks? Is the SourceForge site even being used anymore?
I could go on but I won't because I know what 'real life' is like. I
just wish we (users) could get some more betas. Personally, I have no
idea what might be fixed and what still needs fixing so I won't be
giving you further feedback on 0.55.1. I think there might be other
users who feel the same way...
I hope you know that I'm not afraid to 'dig in' and submit fixes when I
find the time but I don't want to waste my time with fixes that are
already covered...
Hope I'm not being too harsh here...
