[Cuis-dev] Namespaces?

[Juan Vuletich]

A clarification.

After I pressed send, I realized that my actual answer to Shaping might 
not be visible, because it is at the bottom of the message. And that my 
comment on Namespaces my appear harsh. So, let me elaborate a little bit.

This doesn't mean any opinion on Namespaces at all. It just means that 
I'm not focusing on that, and therefore I don't have anything useful to 
add to the discussion. If anybody wants to get together and work on 
that, I think it is great. Especially if the outcome is a loadable 
package, meaning we can try it, and later discuss if it belongs in the 
base image or not.

Please don't take my comment as derogative on Namespaces or anybody's 
projects or initiatives at all. I am really happy and grateful for you, 
Folks, finding Cuis a good place for pursuing your own adventures and 
interests! Also, please don't take my words meaning it is my decision to 
tell what is relevant, or even what belongs in the base image.

This is my answer to Shaping's question: Yes, we do support TrueType. 
Also reasonable GUI scaling even without TrueType.
