Actually, there was no misconception on my part; you've just hit the nail in the head when you said: > That doesn't mean Haiku, Inc. is useless of course, and it can grow to > provide even more for the project in the future I think. There! *That's* what I meant. That we could use Haiku, Inc to help separate the roles of development and decision-making *in a public relations standpoint*, even though the people behind those roles are likely to be the same. And that this is not something for the future; we should do it *now*. In other words: code-wise, I feel that we're in great hands, no questions about it; it's just that people-wise we're both wasting the developers talent forcing them to deal with politics when they don't want to, and wasting non-developers talent not providing them the proper means, structure and communication channels, to help the project the way they're able, and want, to. And that Haiku, Inc could be a good tool to provide this structure. Are we lacking volunteers to make this happen? This is not me complaining or demanding anything while not having the marbles to put my money where my mouth is. Actually, I don't know if I have what it takes to deal with those things, but I always wanted to dedicate more of my time to the project as soon as I sort ou the mess that is my life :) Cheers, A.
