This has been my impression as well.

To me, a community-driven project means it is developed by a community in
the open, such as on GitHub, as opposed to behind the curtains. It means it
has a higher bus-factor, which at the moment is 1.

</span>There were initiatives to revive PySide before the visual effects industry<br>
started to take an interest in it. I suppose enough resources might be<br>
thrown at it this time to make a difference, though I don't see much of a<br>

From what I've seen, the plan is to fund a one-off effort to do a new release<br>
then turn it over to the community to support. I don't know if that will make<br>
it a sustainable project.<br>
<br>
I'm genuinely interested to know what you mean by "community-driven", \
or what<br> you would want to see in such a project.<br>
