MoonTigerhey guys :)17:54
MoonTigeris the cssu stable yet at all?17:54
merlin1991MoonTiger: I don't have any weird reboots / similar stuff with it17:55
merlin1991there are a few bugs, but I'd say it's stable17:55
merlin1991DocScrutinizer will tell you a different story though17:55
MoonTigerhehe i've seen bug reports of modest crashing etc etc (not that its great anyways but still...)17:57
MoonTigerdoes it add useful stuff to the party i guess is what im asking17:57
Damnshockmodest crashes for me sometimes17:59
Damnshockhaven't had any data lost though17:59
Damnshockand it's not very usual17:59
Damnshocksay... twice per week?17:59
MoonTigereeesh17:59
Damnshockmaybe a little bit more17:59
MoonTigerhave they added the ability to tell modest to only get x emails or so many days worth?17:59
Stskeeps'lo MoonTiger, good to see you around still :)17:59
MoonTigerhey Stskeeps :)18:00
MoonTigeri got me a n900 so im back :)18:00
Stskeepshehe :)18:00
DamnshockI'm starting thinking of getting a new phone18:00
Damnshockas my n900 usb connector is starting to fail18:00
Damnshock:S18:00
MoonTigeri have an htc desire rooted with oxygen 2 on it ... its great18:00
DamnshockI'd love to see meego and nitdroid on it though18:01
MoonTigerright18:01
DamnshockI really like maemo but it has really rought edges18:01
MoonTigerit really is unbelievable this whole usb thing with the n90018:01
MoonTigereven the cheapest crappiest phone has a rock solid usb connector18:01
Stskeepsmine would have lasted longer if it wasn't for the idiots pulling down the wifi at meego conference in SF - they stepped over my wire18:02
MoonTigerahhhhhhhhhh18:02
MoonTigerthat sux18:02
DamnshockI don't reallyl understand why it's so crappy18:02
Damnshockthe device is so sturdy18:02
Damnshockmine is almost 2 years old and barely has some scratches on the side18:02
MoonTigerthe one i have seems pretty solid and i filed all the cables down before i got it18:02
JaffaMine's lasted years - until this weekend.18:03
Stskeepsseems like a good time for newer device to come out18:03
Damnshockit is indeed18:03
MoonTigeri heard ppl are getting symbian devices as replacements from nokia now18:03
DamnshockI just don't wanna spend 600€ on another cell phone18:03
Damnshockthat's my opinion though ;)18:04
Damnshockthe thing is that I wanna use it for my work18:04
Damnshockbut the n900 lacks some things18:04
Damnshockthe email client for example is *crappy*18:04
MoonTigerthe n810 was rock solid hardware wise ... just too slow18:04
Damnshockreally crappy18:04
DamnshockMoonTiger: so I've heard18:04
MoonTigerand modest is like a bad curry ... it keeps coming back up in your face18:04
Damnshockanyway, n900 isn't a ferrari either ;)18:05
JaffaModest isn't *too* bad on Maemo 5. Far better than osso-email ever was18:05
DamnshockMoonTiger: no imap idle? in a 2010/2011 device? wth!!!18:05
Damnshockno gpg/pgp integration18:05
MoonTigeri know ... the imap idle thing is the killer altho i have to agree it is way better on the n900 than it was on the n81018:05
Damnshockno threading, no collapsing (don't know how to call it)18:05
Damnshockdon't get me wrong18:06
Damnshockthis N900 is the best phone I've ever had18:06
Damnshockjust for being able to write some scripts on it18:06
MoonTigerit cant be *that* hard to hack to code for modest can it?18:06
Damnshockis... wow18:06
DamnshockMoonTiger: I wish I could18:06
DamnshockI have some knowledge of coding18:06
MoonTigeri can ... im just wondering if its worth it18:06
Damnshockbut I feel like getting to a level where I could actually help would take soooo much time18:06
DamnshockMoonTiger: it's always worth it18:07
Damnshockif you get imap idle running on modest18:07
DamnshockI'll invite you to dinner18:07
Damnshock:)18:07
Damnshockand it is *not* a date :P18:07
MoonTigerStskeeps, is there a reason why nobody has picked it up and hacked it so far?18:07
MoonTigerhehe18:07
MoonTigermy gf might be upset if it was18:07
MoonTiger;)18:07
DamnshockStskeeps: how is the meego DE email client working?18:07
Damnshockhahha18:08
Damnshockwell, we''d first to figure out how to meet18:08
Damnshock;)18:08
Damnshock*have to18:08
Damnshockstill, the offer still stands18:09
MoonTigerheh18:09
StskeepsMoonTiger: which, modest?18:09
StskeepsDamnshock: check the tablet ux mailclient i guess18:09
MoonTigeri might grab the modest and tinymail code and have a look see18:09
MoonTigerthe n900 stock18:09
MoonTigerhas it been improved in the cssu?18:09
DamnshockMoonTiger: http://www.tinymail.org/demos/Tinymail_Push-Email_on_OLPC_-_GNOME_Desktop_-_N800_and_770.ogg18:14
Damnshockimproved? there were some changes I think18:14
Damnshockcouldn't say it's been improved though18:14
MoonTigerwow that video is just sad18:15
MoonTigeri am used to android where the email *just works* really really well18:16
DamnshockMoonTiger: that's why I'm thinking on installing nitdoid in here18:16
Damnshockmostly18:17
Damnshockin fact, if I can get the 3g internet connection I will totally use it :)18:17
DamnshockI barely use the cellphone for calling18:17
MoonTigerme either18:17
Damnshockhowever18:17
MoonTigersms / email / skype / gtalk18:17
Damnshockif you feel like trying the imap idle thing18:17
Damnshockyou can use me as a beta tester ;)18:18
Damnshockdon't get me started on the syncing problems and the N900 ;)18:18
MoonTigerim very busy with work at the mo but i will grab the code and look thru it to see if its something i can do18:18
MoonTigeri sync calendar & contacts with gmail using MFE18:18
MoonTigerworks ok18:18
DamnshockMoonTiger: does not work here18:19
Damnshockalways fails18:19
MoonTigerreally?18:20
Damnshockindeed18:20
*** psycho_oreos has quit IRC18:20
MoonTigeru did the "empty the n900 calendar first" thing right?18:20
DamnshockI tried everything18:20
MoonTigerdang! worked for me no problem18:20
Damnshockno calendars, new calendars18:21
Damnshockappointments in, no appointments at all18:21
Facaasyncing calendar works ok to me, but i lost hope with contacts at some point18:21
Damnshockcontacts, no contacts at all18:21
MoonTigeryah its def flakey18:21
Damnshockand for calendar I'm syncing with an app18:21
MoonTigeri worte the lil mgcal applet for the n81018:21
MoonTigerso i know about the calendar thing18:21
MoonTigerwrote too18:22
*** m0use has joined #maemo-ssu18:24
DamnshockI'm using erminig18:26
*** psycho_oreos has joined #maemo-ssu18:26
MoonTigerdoes it work?18:27
Damnshockit does, the calendar gets synced18:27
Damnshockit lacks many features18:27
MoonTiger2 way sync?18:27
DamnshockMoonTiger: If I recall correctly yes18:27
DamnshockI'll just try  hehehe18:28
Damnshockjust tested adding an appointment to google's calendar and it syncs correctly18:30
Damnshocklet's check the other way around...18:30
MoonTigerok18:30
Damnshockyeah, it works18:31
DamnshockI've been using it for weeks18:31
Damnshockbut always used the calendar on the n900 for adding appointments18:32
Damnshockso I wasn't sure i'd work both ways18:32
MoonTigerok good to know18:32
Damnshockthe thing is that this app only allows you to sync once per day18:32
MoonTigeri tend to use my android or web browser to add appts then sync down onto the n90018:32
Damnshockwhich is... well... simply not enough18:32
MoonTigeronce per day???18:32
MoonTigerwtf?18:32
Damnshockas a setting that is18:33
Damnshockif you go manually to the app you can do it as many times as you wish18:33
MoonTigeryou mean auto sync once per day?18:33
MoonTigerok18:33
MoonTigerstill ... weird18:33
Damnshockyeah, autosync once per day18:33
Damnshockit'd be great to have it like once every hour18:33
Damnshockor something like that18:33
MoonTigersweems really odd to have that limitation18:35
MoonTigerwonder why?18:35
Damnshockmaybe just lack of time to add it by the developer18:35
Damnshockthat would be something I could check, couldn't I?18:36
Damnshockhehe18:36
MoonTigerbut if the auto-sync code is in there adding diff intervals would be trivial18:36
MoonTigeri'll add that to my list18:36
Damnshockhahahhaha18:39
DamnshockI'm pretty sure you've got a loooong list18:39
MoonTigeri dont like not being able to make things work as they should18:40
Damnshockwell, image how frustated I feel18:40
MoonTigerive always been a programmer so i have no idea what its like not to be able to change how these damn gadgets work ;)18:42
Damnshockmy humble opinion is that it's kinda difficult to get started with18:43
Damnshockthe development18:43
DamnshockI know some programming, probably enough to learn my way on my own18:44
MoonTigeryeah maemo and the sbox env are a pain to get running18:44
DamnshockMoonTiger: yeap, you are right18:44
Damnshockand the documentation is not very clear18:44
MoonTigerqt seems easier to dev with but deployment can be funky18:44
DamnshockMoonTiger: that as well :)18:44
DamnshockI have it installed at home18:45
DamnshockI have no idea how to get things compiled though18:46
Damnshockfor example modest18:46
MoonTigeryah its a pain18:47
MoonTigermake files etc etc18:47
MoonTigerautotools18:47
MoonTigerdo some reading on those18:47
MoonTigeronce you get the hang of the basics its not too hard18:48
MoonTigerbut it will hurt your head to start with18:48
MoonTigerdid mine18:48
Damnshockthat's the thing18:48
MoonTigerstill does sometimes18:48
MoonTigerbrb18:48
Damnshockand I don't have much time for that18:49
DamnshockI rather improve my programming skills than learning how to set this environment18:49
Damnshockhello?18:49
DamnshockI guess I had some lag18:49
MoonTigerjust had to make some bread18:58
MoonTiger:)18:58
Damnshockhahahaha18:59
Damnshockbon apetit mon amic18:59
MoonTiger:)18:59

MoonTigeradeiu19:03
Damnshockfins aviat!19:03
*** MoonTiger has quit IRC19:03
DocScrutinizermerlin1991: I'll not stop bitching about it unless CSSU get at least as stable as stock maemo5, as it's meant to be even more stable than that, rather than less19:09
DamnshockDocScrutinizer: I guess all of us want that19:11
*** m0use has quit IRC19:16
DocScrutinizerDamnshock: well, then CSSU for sure shouldn't irreversibly uninstall stock components like camera-ui to replace them with new stuff that's beta at best. This is per definitionem not what CSSU is meant for, esp not when we could get same thing in extras without removing the stock thing permanently. And I mean permanently as reflashing seems only way to get the standard cam-ui back19:17
DocScrutinizerthat's like if a security online update for my desktop linux suddenly would decide to replace FF by opera, and no way back whatsoever19:20
Damnshocknot exactly the same, is it?19:21
Damnshockcssu is not for everybody19:21
DocScrutinizeron al sane systems you have an option to select such things like default browser, and for sure killing stock cam-ui is a idiotic thing to do and shouldn't be done at all in CSSU19:21
DocScrutinizercssu is definitely for *EVERYBODY*19:22
DocScrutinizerwhat do you think is the C in CSSU19:22
Damnshockwell, that's the objective19:22
Damnshocki doubt it's in that shape though19:22
Damnshockcommunity19:22
Damnshockthat does not mean is for everybody19:22
Damnshockjust for those willing to install it19:23
DocScrutinizerit's not in that shape because there are things done that are stupid and not helpful19:23
DocScrutinizerDamnshock: that argument is BS19:23
Damnshockthen just do a cssu219:23
Damnshockand go ahead with your non-stupid ideas19:23
DocScrutinizerDamnshock: why don't you???19:24
Damnshockme? maybe because I don't see the need of it19:24
DocScrutinizeryeah, the problem of unexperienced egocentric young male, no matter if they think they know a shit bout sw development or not19:26
DamnshockI don't see you are in a strong position to do such claims when you use words like "stupid" or "bs"19:27
Damnshockyou arguments lose strengh19:28
DocScrutinizerbut you can't argue about my point that a cameraui that could as well go to extras-repo per CSSU wiki's own founding mantra hasn't the right to go into CSSU19:28
DocScrutinizerand if you don't see how easily it could go to extras-repo then you for sure miss something here19:29
DocScrutinizerI consider these invincible strong arguments against your point19:30
DocScrutinizerand btw I don't see you in any strong position for any of the next time when you are using that old lame argument of "I do it my way, you don't need to install"19:32
Damnshocklame for you19:32
Damnshockas long as it's a volunteer work I understand that the one that is coding takes the decision19:33
Damnshockto do whatever he feels right19:33
DamnshockI can try to convince him19:33
Damnshocksurely I won't do it by saying his ideas are stupid19:33
Damnshock;)19:33
DocScrutinizeras that's the argument of people who are short of better arguments, and usually they lose when using that19:33
Damnshockthat's the argument of someone who respects other's free work19:33
DocScrutinizeryou are definitely wrong, as it's not up to the coder to decide what's going into CSSU19:34
DamnshockI'm not saying what you say is not reasonable19:34
DamnshockDocScrutinizer: then who is to decide? you?19:34
DocScrutinizernope19:34
Damnshockthat's why I said you could create a cssu2 if you wanted to19:34
Damnshockwhich is totally respectable19:34
DocScrutinizerthere's still a board missing that does this19:34
DocScrutinizerDamnshock: I was a bit involved in creating this CSSU, why do you think I'm temped to do it again?19:35
DocScrutinizerjust because you don't like the word 'silly'?19:35
DocScrutinizeryou're not going to bully me and my notion about the right way for CSSU out19:36
Damnshockbully?19:37
Damnshockdude, you have serious trouble if you think I'm bullying yiou19:37
DamnshockxD19:37
Damnshockbesides19:37
Damnshockthe thing is... what gets into the CSSU gets decided in a board by what you say19:37
Damnshockright?19:37
DocScrutinizerI always have serously troubling feelings about dudes telling me "leave the project, start your own!"19:38
Damnshocktherefore... most of them thought it was reasonable to install what's in it right now19:38
DamnshockDocScrutinizer: i didn't say that19:38
DocScrutinizeryou did19:38
DamnshockI said you *could* do that19:38
DocScrutinizerBS19:38
Damnshockif you wanted to19:38
DocScrutinizerhow old are you? 15?19:38
Damnshock1219:39
Damnshockyou surely are 8219:39
Damnshockyou really feel better by insulting others ideas and disrespecting them, right?19:39
Damnshockthen again, I didn't said your ideas were bad19:40
Damnshocks/said/say19:40
DamnshockI just can't understand why you feel the need to be disrispectfull19:41
Damnshockat least is that how I'm reading your messages19:41
DocScrutinizerso let a 82 year old tell a 12 year old youngster about RL: this is FOSS, we don't practice PC here, we're not polite and graceful about the work of peers we really appreciate their work every day. It's obvious we "love" each other otherwise none of us were around here - and a dirct argument and concern about a single point is a compliment about the work in all, as if we wouldn't care or disrespect we wouldn't even bother to comment at19:50
DocScrutinizerall. Don't play siisi, this is a club of grownups19:50
Damnshockthat's your opinion19:52
Damnshockmine is different19:52
Damnshockbeing "grownup" as you call it doesn't mean to me being able to accept insult from others19:53
Damnshockbut if you feel fine with that... then it's your decision19:54
DocScrutinizerI haven't insulted anybody here - and I ask for proof of your claim19:54
DocScrutinizermaybe this is a lost-in-translation problem19:55
DocScrutinizermaybe our metrics differ19:55
DocScrutinizerthen I'm really sorry, never meant to hurt your feelings19:56
DocScrutinizerbut actually you hurt my feelings by telling "you *could* start cssu2"19:56
DocScrutinizerit's a gross suggestion19:56
DocScrutinizerit implies you own cssu and I'm free to define my optinion is an own universe apart from yours and everybody else's19:57
DocScrutinizerthat's really inpolite19:58
Damnshockit implies as well as you are capable enough of doing it19:58
Damnshockwhich, surprisingly, is not an insult19:58
Damnshockyou can missinterpret whatever you want to try to prove your point19:58
Damnshockhowever19:58
DocScrutinizerwell, regarding why and what purpose for we created CSSU it is19:58
DocScrutinizeran insult19:58
Damnshockjust try to explain me how "stupid idea" is not an insult19:58
DamnshockxD19:58
DocScrutinizerif stupid idea was an insult, we wouldn't ever get great ideas19:59
DocScrutinizeractually a stupid idea isn't a privilege of a stupid person, and any idea is better than no idea at all20:00
Damnshockwhat does "stupid" idea have to do with great ideas20:01
Damnshockyou can have great ideas about something without having supid ones20:01
DocScrutinizerand I take pride in the fact I consider 75% ow my own ideas stupid in hindsight20:01
Damnshock*stupid20:01
DocScrutinizeryeah, I see this would break the bounds of what can be done now, also we should probably move it to ##rhetoric20:02
Damnshockwell, still20:02
DocScrutinizeror ##philosophy20:02
DamnshockI seriously believe being polite and respectfull creates a better environment of working with others20:03
Damnshockwho could think differentlly from you20:03
DocScrutinizercalling an idea stupid is neither disrespectful (except for the idea as such) nor inpolite, it's mere honest and to the point20:04
Damnshockit's honest, I'll give you that20:04
DamnshockI disagree about the respect thing though20:04
*** I-C-Wiener has joined #maemo-ssu20:04
Damnshockrespectfull would be "if we do that i'd work better because 1...2...3"20:04
Damnshockthat's respectfull20:05
Damnshockit's way much better than "bullshit, just do that this way"20:05
Damnshockand they are both honest and to the point20:05
DocScrutinizerok, so it's all about rhetorics20:05
Damnshockit's all about relation with each other20:05
DocScrutinizerpleese forgive my french, I'm not as bad as you might think20:05
Damnshockfrench=friend?20:06
DocScrutinizeri'm a grumpy old man but I respect all my peers very much - except L.P. :-P20:06
DocScrutinizerfrench=language, diction20:06
Damnshocklp?20:06
DocScrutinizerlennart20:07
DocScrutinizerwho I love to call a moron20:07
DocScrutinizerand I know it's not correct to do this20:07
DocScrutinizerbut I can't help20:07
Damnshockwhatever...20:08
DocScrutinizerpukeaudio annoying me too much to treat L.P. nice20:08
Damnshockit annoyes me as well20:08
DamnshockxD20:08
DocScrutinizerbut I'd never call anybody contributing to CSSU a stupid person20:08
DocScrutinizerI just like to criticise particular subsystems, concepts, ideas, whatever. Many of which originally been supported by me origininally or completely are my genuine ideas of yesterday. Calling them stupid is just my direct way to express what I think about the *idea* today20:10
DocScrutinizerunrelated to any person, no insult etc20:10
DocScrutinizerand of course my PoV is a bit biased regarding quality management, as I had responsibility for 100K or x millions of customers several times in my life, in several projects that I (contributed to ) manage.20:13
DocScrutinizeryou get a bit grumpy about too fast implementation of new stuff, by doing that, I guess20:13
DocScrutinizerand definitely we never must forget about CSSU being targeted at _all_ N900 users. and <quote> Quality is of paramount importance to the Community SSU </quote url=http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU#QA_and_bugs>20:16
DocScrutinizerin other words: CSSU is *not* extras-experimental20:17
Damnshockas you like to quote20:20
DamnshockWho is it for?20:20
DamnshockLong-term: all N900 users/owners.20:20
DamnshockFor now: power-users, developers, Nokia/Maemo/MeeGo engineers, testers, documentation writers and those willing to risk a re-flash in order to help.20:20
DocScrutinizerindeed, but that's clearly __for now__, which implies we are aiming at bettering that every single day20:20
DocScrutinizerand I'm contributing/consulting on an other distro which got trapped in the "let's fix the bugs with the new version of XY" which caused the number of bugs constantly rising instead of getting lower for almost 2 years now20:22
DocScrutinizerI've given up on that one, as it's evidently too late to fix the issue there. Here we might avoid getting trapped even20:23
JaffaDocScrutinizer: Still looking forward to your maemo-developers email on this so you don't have to keep repeating yourself.20:24
JaffaCopy & paste your last 3 lines, expand a bit. Bosh20:24
DocScrutinizer:-D20:24
DocScrutinizerok20:24
MohammadAGalso I'm pretty sure camera-ui works well now :p20:39
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: quite possible. That's not the point though20:41
DocScrutinizereven while it somewhat mitigates the case20:42
DocScrutinizerthe basic idea is CSSU should try to stay as lean as possible, pushing everything out to extras(-devel) that has any feasible way to do so20:43
DocScrutinizerideally CSSU was a metapkg consisting solely of extras-devel packages20:44
MohammadAGextras-devel never held upgraded system packages20:45
DocScrutinizerso what?20:45
MohammadAGthat would be mcsp20:45
DocScrutinizerlet's pick camera-ui for an example: there's no clear reason why it needs to go to CSSU20:46
DocScrutinizereven while cam-ui is "system"20:46
DocScrutinizerit would be necessary to get it into CSSU if and *only* if it would fix a major bug in m5-stock, and it'd be *mandatory* to install the cssu-cam-ui to keep the system at a functional level20:47
DocScrutinizeras I see it for now, stock M5 with stock cam-ui doesn't need an urgent bugfix in that subsystem. So cssu-cam-ui clearly is an _optional_ package that can go to extras-devel20:49
MohammadAGit can't, you can't disable the stock camera UI and both APIs would conflict20:50
DocScrutinizeras you know it's just a matter of redefining one symlink to switch between stock and cssu cam-ui20:50
DocScrutinizersure you can20:50
DocScrutinizerone line20:50
MohammadAGmessing with symlinks is a bad way to replace the package, you can see what mess that did with things like theme customizer and m-h-d20:50
DocScrutinizerln -s /foo/bin/canera-ui /new/cssu/camera-ui20:50
DocScrutinizerkicking out the binary of a stock m5 package (camera), just to get that symlink, is for sure an even worse way to deal with it. And - as mentioned several times now - is unrelated to CSSU still20:52
DocScrutinizerI offered to deliver the silly simple scripts to deal with switching default camera-ui by mere clickng of an app icon. This whole package can go to extras then, no way it's related to and needs to go to CSSU20:53
DocScrutinizeryou could get an *optional* app in cssu-repo (install it like any other app via HAM) that's called "permanent-replacement-camUI (including kill and nuke of original one, to free some storage)"20:56
DocScrutinizeryou can get same package to extras-devel, without the permananet bits, but instead allowing user to switch between stock and "cssu" camUI20:57
DocScrutinizerI'm fine with both approaches (preferrably get all both actually), but I don't think this belongs to CSSU-meta package to get installed unconditionally on enabling CSSU20:58
DocScrutinizerplease correct me if I got anything wrong about how CSSU and HAM and MPs work21:02

DocScrutinizerJaffa: MohammadAG: what's included in mp-fremantle-community-pr (I.E. what packages get "mandatory" as dependencies drwn in by it)? And why do we need it? No kidding, I try to understand that bit22:21
DocScrutinizerAIUI such a meta packet "requires" certain packages, and we can replace even those originally included in the stock m5 maemo-MP as that one "got nuked" by cssu-installer. Right?22:24
DocScrutinizerso could that cssu-MP have *alternatives* for madatory system packages?22:24
DocScrutinizeras in "we need _some_ mediaplayer for a working system" - not meaning we need the cssu-one but any alternative that gives enough functionality to keep the system functional22:26
DocScrutinizeras it's now and as far as I understand it, we are replacing the problems created by stop maemo-MP with our own new problems we generate from making a similarly restrictive metapackage for CSSU22:27
DocScrutinizers/stop/stock/22:28
DocScrutinizerI wonder if we need a metapackage at all22:29
DocScrutinizerand if we really do, if we could make somewhat more "liberal" or simply smaller22:31
DocScrutinizere.g I'd prefer to uninstall mail completely, rather than replace it by a new cssu package that neither the system not I need, as we didn't need the old one. (meybe a really poor example, not even sure about if it applies at all, but I hope you get my point)22:33
*** trumee has joined #maemo-ssu22:36
DocScrutinizerI'd like to see the number of mandatory installed things (by cssu) to scale down to the bare minimum needed to keep the system boot up and enter a basically usable state. this probably includes things like MHD, of course would consist of middleware stuff like dbus, csd and icd or replacements, mafw (or replacement)... I think stuff like mediaplayer, mail, etc could stay out of the MP and get optional22:40
DocScrutinizeras long as system doesn't blow chunks on any of those optional bits getting uninstalled or downgraded to stock or whatever version been compatible formerly22:42
DocScrutinizerhonestly I think Nokia's concept of MP sucks and we should try to improve or get rid of it22:43
DocScrutinizerJaffa: that's maybe another reason I've not sent a mail yet - I still haven't wrapped my head around all this sufficiently to feel like I got a proper notion how things should get handled22:45
DocScrutinizerthere are quite probably problems I'm not aware of, when going the way I would like to suggest22:46
