> I guess that amongst mobile developers this number is higher than for C++
<offtopic> yeah right, but I am not sure whether the majority of Qt developers (the target group) want to deal with Java/Objective C. e.q: I know quite a few C++ developers who hate Java with a passion. But I don't want to start a language war here, so please see the generalized statement as that what it is: a generalized statement ;-) </offtopic> I am wondering whether I can help to improve the current situation somehow. I've never contributed to Qt before, but I think with a bit of help from the community and some experienced developers I might be able to make some small improvements. But what happens with the feature once it is implemented? Who will maintain the feature and fix bugs? I think especially at the beginning (platform specific) bugs will arise. Ideally I guess, those bugs should be fixed by the person who implemented the feature (as he/she knows the code best). But in my case, even if I find time to contribute some small improvements, I probably won't be able to maintain them (I am already involved in too many open source projects). What happens with the code then? Will it be maintained by someone else? I am a bit afraid that we eventually end up in the same situation, even if "non-Qt core developers" contribute something. The only difference is then, that the feature is broken instead of missing. I am not sure whether that's any better..(I remember that I've tried to enable the android selection handles immediately after they got introduced. Unfortunately I stumbled across some nasty bugs which I couldn't resolve without patching and rebuilding Qt. So I ended up deactivating the selection handles again. Although the functionality was already there (and almost working), it took a few Qt patch releases until those issues got fixed).
