Hi David and Ed and Jim,
Thanks for chiming in. I'm glad I'm not alone. I completely agree that bugs should come first, period. That goes without saying. My previous question about weighing by stars was intended to be specific to enhancements and feature requests. You're right, bugs should never be weighed by stars.
I think GWT is going through some growing pains right now, and I feel this is exactly the kind of discussion that needs to happen. All the better that Daniel K. and Thomas B. are chiming in as well.
David, I saw your recent comment in issue 1328, and you made some very good points. In particular, you reminded me that many GWT users (probably the vast majority) are working in the corporate sector and need GWT to be a professional-grade tool. I can also relate to your point about having to come up with a workaround, and then not being able to contribute it back. I'll probably post back here with your full comment.
Thomas, thanks for your in-depth response. That was very thorough. I intended my questions to be more general though (I was just citing the top open issues as an example). After bugs, which come first, does the Steering Committee have some set protocol for triaging issues (questions 1 & 3, above)?
And a follow-up question: Making GWT more maintainable makes perfect sense, so I understand the need to modularize GWT by externalizing several components. But, does that also imply that the Steering Committee as a whole would be effectively washing its hands of any responsibility to externalized components?
By the way, I do want to give props to Daniel and Thomas for entering the discussion so quickly. It's a nice change from the AppEngine forum where we often feel left in the dark.
