No idea. Its been in development since before the DOT COM bust. > • Is this a hobby project, experimental project or realistic project? All the above :) It's a production compiler. The website, for example, is based on a webserver written in Felix. > • Why don't you do more something for the spread of the felix.

However I don't have the resources to maintain them. The OpenGL binding was mechanically generated by an imperfect tool. The tool no longer exists, and the binding has never been tested except for a couple of SDL demos I wrote. For any given binding, such as SDL or OpenGL at least one full time developer (or equivalent) is required, plus at least three users of that binding. Otherwise the binding cannot be shown to be correct and useful, nor can it be kept current with changes in the upstream library. > forum site, more effective web site How would you make it more effective? > and detailed docs. I am regularly writing docs, but it is very time consuming. It takes a lot longer to document some new feature than implement it. I am trying to find a technical solution to this, so that the code and documentation are more integrated. I have just done a tool that allows the code in tutorials to be checked. I'm using that now on a new tutorial. > At least you can write more info about felix on Wikipedia. No I can't, because I'm the principal developer. An impartial description must be written by a third party based on an authoritative source. The authority can be documentation and description placed externally by me, but would be best to also include third party evaluations. > I know "You have small team."

I cannot make more than 24 hours in a day, not even by failing to go shopping or eat. > for this but I think you can do somethings. Maybe I can do small > contributions. Right now just regularly building it would be good, even if you never wrote a line of code. Especially if you're using WIndows, since I cannot check the build works on Windows. I build on OSX 10.6 at the moment, and the website runs Ubuntu/Linux. Even building on the remote server is a pain because I am stuck with wireless internet and during the build my connection keeps dropping out. > Because I am not a good programmer like you. Hopefully you do not need to be a good programmer to use Felix for simple jobs. However you WILL need to ask questions on the mailing list until the documentation is more complete. The best way to test a system is to throw newbies at it.
