Where and when does this voting occur? I've been vocal about improving Qt on mobile since mobile was an option. I've been hardcore on the shortcomings for about 20 months. During that time, I saw 5.6 get released, 5.7 get released at the same time as 5.6.1, and a lot of meaningless (to me) modules added. And now 5.8 is only 1.5 months from 5.7? What_the_hell? I'd like to see Qt complete it's mobile initiative. As for contributing, the past 20 months I've been under _multiple_ commercial licenses, one that was paying for a Desktop just to use Qt Charts. I think that's pretty material. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
