Hi Andreas,
I think there are people who are interested in a system with Tweak that
is useable as an universal basis for:
- a personal desktop system.
- deploying a desktop application. That implies that special hardware
should not be needed, that the resulting image is reasonably small and
perhaps some flexibility in the UI look and feel.
- server applications that are developed and run in an UI-image but can
be shrunk down to a headless version if appropriate.
- something else not covered directly by the above points but imaginable
like e.g. a "browser-bootstrapped" application
Right now I guess there is some confusion or fear that you may target
only the personal desktop system like you do e.g. with Croquet. Of
course there is a road map at impara.de that looks promising, but I
think a little more affirmation about the universality of the announced
stand-alone Tweak and perhaps some updated temporal guidance would be
helpful to get people really interested -as in- getting them starting a
Tweak project.
Regards,
Martin
