I think this is a stupid prize, which could cause a rupture in the already
broken BeOS community. We don't want ppl acting on his own hoping to win a
prize all coding on the same. We want a team. I know that I'm talking as a
bystander, but this shouldn't be the meaning of the prize.

Sure that will be me ;-)) Anyway, it won't be a hacked version of OT - it will be the standard version, for everyone to get. That's the basic idea behind binary compatibility. Almost every component we have so far is in fact binary compatible. With the small exceptions of a) mistakes on our part, and b) an intended change in the API, like it will be done for file system add- ons and for the (currently private) disk device API. I appreciate your offer, but be assured, that if I would win that prize, I would divide it through every active (or core) member of the project. It just wouldn't be fair to only give it to the one person who accidently got the whole project running ;-)
So long, I hope we'll be able to deliver that thing until next year :-P
Adios... Axel.
