This doesn't seem about any "end result" here. I read it as more a direct r= esponse to whatever bureaucratic/project management/deliverables/hard core team Vic= is imagining. This is pointing out that everything around organization falls out from peo= ple doing work and others choosing to work with them, which I agree with. However your question about the end state is interesting. As it has been discussed ad nauseam here, there is fairly high discontent at there being anything even close to acknowledgement about 9front being Plan = 9. So much so that things like the p9f go out of their way to avoid talking ab= out us. You seem to think as I do that this has had litle practical impact. However= it is what I would call unfortunate. I don't bring this up to rehash this issu= e, just to explain part of what I feel the current situation is. We often find ourselves in these situations because of bogus claims made at 9front's expense. We're here in this thread because of such claims that 9front and 9legacy were wildly incompatible. >=20 > On the other hand, there's 9legacy, which pulls together some useful > patches and attempts to carry on in a manner imagined to be closer to > what Bell Labs did.

I can really only speak for myself but I think some frustration comes at the direct comparisons between the two. 9front has seen a lot of work. As qwx mentioned we have 10,555 commits on top of our initial import from 2= 011 and we continue to receive bug fixes and improvements at regular intervals. Just talking about raw hours invested I think these projects are in differe= nt ballparks. When people suggest tossing that all out for a minimally patched 4e, I thin= k some people rightfully feel a bit annoyed. That's a lot of baby that goes out with that= bathwater. >=20 > Meanwhile, the people actually doing any work are in communication > with one another, regardless of what label is applied to the software > running on their individual computers, which is as it should be. I think it's worth mentioning that I feel like this has improved since iwp9 was continued. I've learned so much by interacting more with the "old guard" and there has been much more discussions and code being passed around. I encourage more folks to join us in working on things. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tcf128fa955b8aafc-M75f50= b19e10239ae6e23e2e5 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
