Re: [9fans] Balancing Progress and Accessibility in the Plan 9 Community. (Was: [9fans] Interoperating between 9legacy and 9front)

ibrahim you're further inventing misleading terms and definitions that
contribute nothing useful to any reader.
the "means of porting" is something that you have to go and invest the
work into, that's it. it's time, sweat, work. technology cannot help
you much with this, renaming the forks also changes nothing about the
amount of work this will take.

write the code, merge the code, that's the process now. anybody who
cares just sends patches that anybody can import into their favourite
fork to the mailinglist here, or they publish here some links to a git
or hg repository so that others can check the latest updates there.
that's my experience so far.

at this point all you're doing is speculation at best, it's verbose
and spammy, and full of untruths. I do not welcome it, please stop
generating noise.

By this definition everything that can directly compiled and run on the final release of plan9 is usable by all forks cause each fork will have means of porting from this "mothership" and if people from different forks discuss than we discuss about things part of this mothership. Its okay that each fork has different views for things outside of this definition but this would end the never ending discussions.
