At the DX hackfest last week[1] I gave an informal presentation about some of the work Collabora has been doing with GLib, GStreamer, Clutter, GTK+ and related technologies on client projects, specifically focusing on the feedback from two client projects, and the problems we encountered downstream which could motivate upstream development in the future. We discussed various issues around those in the presentation, and have some ideas for fixing some of the problems which we did not manage to fix at the time of doing the work downstream. Some of these problems are inherently unfixable, though, and are mentioned purely to motivate future API designs to direct people towards a single, correct, intended usage of the API, as much as that is possible. It was suggested that I send the presentation to DDL, since it might be of general interest. I haven’t modified it from the hackfest version, so please let me know if you have any questions.
