After havin changed the fonts now in Aeon65 and a quick chat with DJH, the original Aeon author, about a release on the official addons repo, I talked with the xbmc team today about the same topic. To make it short, here is one demand we have to meet:
"Merge the forks. Yea, I know. This will be rough. I fear that once
one is added, the other forks will cry foul, and say "You added his,
why won't you add mine? Mine is better/more original/slimmer/etc.".
Keep in mind, addons in the repo are for regular users. They have
likely not been to the forum, and know nothing of Aeon's history. And
they have no idea why one Aeon version is betteer/different than
another. Besides, having a few developers work on the same skin is
much more productive than each maintaining their own fork."
Opinions?
