Hi gang, In order to keep the discussion flowing as smoothly as possible, I have taken the liberty of summarizing the points brought up in the main thread. Check it out on the dev.haiku-os.org wiki: http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/R1/AlphaStatus#Discussion7thofAugust I have tried to summarize all ideas. In case I missed any, please add them yourself if you have the permissions or send me a private message. Make sure you add a reference to the original message in the thread on the freelists archive. This archive can be found here: //www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/ I will keep this summary up to date the upcoming days. I would like to add another (procedural) proposal: in order to streamline the decision process, I'd propose we keep the discussion open for a few days, and then divide the items up into proposals on which the developers can vote. Each proposal would have to be adopted by someone who will be responsible for it, in order to prevent some ideas to disappear. I hope this will prevent this thread to turn into an endless discussion. What do you think? Niels
