(meta) crow issue forgiveness

[trentgill]

In the spirit of https://github.com/monome/teletype/issues/206 it seems a good time to reflect on the state of the issues list now that we've launched 2.0

Here's the roundup from @tehn

many are stale feature requests and propositions--- many of initiated by myself--- which are largely no longer relevant as the system has shifted dramatically in some ways.

the norns crew recently did a massive purge of stale/won't-fix issues and it felt amazing.

i'm proposing something similar here, and since we're not co-located (and drinking beer), i think it'd be good to weigh in on specific issues prior to removal... though also perhaps there isn't much to discuss?

i'm going to use this issue as a thread to list possible issues to close. any comments are welcome. after some period or time i'll execute the agreed closures.

reverse chrono

• ~#5 - ii-strings are too much work for little reward. rest is complete already~
• ~#11 - seems not to have been issue in practice (as the lua system is restarted on every boot / script load)~
• ~#40 - little room left for improvement. favour #122.~ Closed favouring #122
• ~#67 - stale. probably overkill.~

• 81 - i've tried many times and can't solve. small subset of affected users (small portion of linux users).

• ~#112 - close in favour of #301~

• 125 - close in favour of #301

• ~#205 - non-issue (similar to #11 )~
• ~#264 - feels like we're asking too much of crow? should this be a druid / norns feature? just need better documentation?~
• ~#268 - they work fine as-is.~
• ~#269 - most libs are pretty stable. feels unimportant except (maybe) for new additions.~ Closed as complete.
• ~#279 - likely fixed since 2.0~
• ~#285 - prefer #339 for this edge case~
• ~#302 - input libs are really nice. crow is not designed to be a DSP platform~
• ~#322 - implement as a userlib post #339~

Isn't #205 a duplicate of #11 instead of #5?

And I've added some comments to the issues that I understand :P

[trentgill]

Indeed I got some of the cross-linking wrong. Updated above. Of note, #40 should be closed in favour of #122 (not 112), and our discussion ~should be~ is copied there.

81 is the only one i'd like to take another look at. would appreciate help from @simonvanderveldt (the linux guru!)

all others i am totally good to close

[trentgill]

I closed 13 issues from above! Left #81 as requested, and also #125 to remind myself to make this a part of ASL2. Closing this issue now.
