Rather than pleased that something wanted is already available? Please spare me the whinging and rather admit, both of you here, that Plan 9 is not ripe for those who seek to stand on the shoulders of giants, not to see further, but to be noticed from a distance. > 12:05 < XXXX> To look for a driver that is already there... > 12:05 < XXXX> To have an idea that someone else is doing... Asking tends to solicit replies. Is it our fault that we aren't exactly interested in using IRC? > 12:06 * XXXX grrrrsss and rants... > 12:06 < uriel> talking about 9fans? > 12:06 < XXXX> Of course. > 12:11 < XXXX> [sources/contrib] is great, as long as people put their > work there... > 12:11 < XXXX> And an INDEX... No one has ever stopped anyone from setting up a CVS repository or anything else that might be more useful than sources. But the reality is that Uriel and colleagues are looking for a platform for fame and fortune. Sadly, Plan 9 is not "American Idol" and those who really do contribute are concentrating on their tasks instead of, as Uriel would like, on making Plan 9 leave up to popularistic expectations. My take: "thank fuck!" ++L
