Once again, thanks for chiming in everyone. It's definitely encouraging to see.
Andy,
I agree with you on the idea of evaluating and trying to roll in as much of the
usable "offline" development that has been done at DNeg as possible,
especially if it could affect the state or validity of existing pull requests or issues.
Kevin, I also agree that I would rank anything related to image quality very high. As you can probably surmise from the topic of
this thread, my motivations are not entirely unbiased with regard to the
outstanding issues; if I had my druthers, the GPU/CPU mismatch would
be at the top of the TODO list going forward, especially with more and
more shows requesting ACES deliverables.
Larry, I think your
triage proposal is a great one. From a quick look at the open
PRs, it looks like there are probably at least 10 that could be merged
completely painlessly and without changing any existing behavior. It sounds like there are still some internal details that need
to be ironed out regarding how things will move
forward, and I'm going to cross my fingers that that process is a smooth
one, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that having you involved in any
capacity is immediately reassuring.
