Hi All, Although I find there are several interesting threads on this list, I personally feel that the diversity of them is hindering the progress of the project. I agree that a good discussion between Helmar (+friends) about his proposal and some of OpenBeOS might be very interesting, but most posts on it I've read rehash the same over and over. A lot of the more OpenBeOS related stuff is getting washed away by these threads while getting people to start on NewOS investigation looks to _me_ like a really important thing also.... Maybe this is the time to split up this mailing list and move the NewOS / introduction / closed vs open source discussion outside this generic list. Hope I didn't offend any one, most of what is going on here _is_ interesting and useful, I only would prefer to have the _option_ of focusing on a selection of messages that get send here :) Regards, Ithamar R.
