As you said, Mark, there is likely some budgeting, internal to Slim, to account for the portions of Slimserver that developed in-house. I have no idea what percentage of Slimserver is developed in-house, but I assume we are paying for it in the cost of the Squeezebox. That portion developed outside of Slim by people like Kevin, Triode, Fred and others who are NOT Slim Devices employees is certainly gratis, and complaining about the work of these people is completely out-of-order.
I liken the development of medium to large software projects to writing a novel a big novel. How many of us know anyone that has pulled off that feat? The silly little images for the analog VU meters I contributed took a fair amount of time. I can't imagine the havoc people like Kevin, et al are wreaking on their personal lives! -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24528 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
