Hi,

You can't really do that.
At the moment, al the programmers that are involved with OpenBeOS are
involved with it because *they* want The Be Operating System. They know
what their job is - to create an exact replica of the Be Inc, software
that they are copying, they have chosen to make a copy.
When they have finished, it will just be like any other project :
If you want something in the OS you have a few choices :
a) Put a request in to the author for him to code *if he wants to*
b) Add it yourself, and send the diffs to the maintainer to add, *if
they want to*
If they fail you can fork a new version, and hope that its clearly
better than the original so that it gets included in the original ones
place.
The GE Project can not dictate what any of the programmers write in
their own spare time, it can be a forum for ideas - but unless the GE
Project does the coding, thats all it ever will be.
Just my thoughts.....
Thanks
