[openbeos] Re: Who wants obedn.com?

Hype is a great motivator - it inspires people to wait for great things
ahead, and it pushes the developers to reach the objectives promised.  A
newsletter every fortnight should do the trick, posted on the front page
(and archieved) for all the world to see the latest news and status reports.
Since we're slowly finalising our research and moulding designs, we should
start coding in a few weeks time, which is when the newsletters should
start.  I suggest the first articles to be a defense of the designs, that
is, the first newsletter documents should be our design documents.

I've emailed you privately with a list of people working on the networking
kit.
