In that case, it sounds like they made it more accessible, which is great, but if that warning is actually warranted, and not hyperbole, then they didn't (in my opinion), improve things enough to warrant calling it a "community" edition. Yes, technically any group can be a community, even a group of embedded systems linux developers. But I don't think many people would think of that if they saw something marketed as a "community" edition, especially in contrast to an already existing developer edition. If they meant that this is for a community of developers, then I don't know why they wouldn't just keep calling it the developer edition.
- rjsw 2y agoWhen the developer edition was released there wasn't a driver for the eink screen, there have been screenshots posted of what it looks like now that the screen works.
- aniviacat 2y agoIme it's fairly common to name things "community edition" if they were created with the help of the community, which is the case here.
- MostlyStable 2y agoFair. That's a pretty reasonable reason to name it that. I still think it's slightly confusing, but I suppose that the majority of the market for this is probably people who are going to have enough background to know.
