[Bf-committers] Blender developers weekly meeting notes - March 1st, 2015

[Hadrien Brissaud]

I think it's great that Joshua is working on this area. There was a
discussion earlier on how the NLA strips could be improved to behave more
like animation layers - that is, to register keyframing as relative to
animation already existing in other strips. Is this part of the plan ?

Regards,

Hadrien
