Hi Alan, just out of curiosity: I am wondering why VPRI is not aiming at a more community oriented style of innovation. Do you think the communcation effort is not worth the cost since you do not gain enough or even loose some freedom and / or speed by discussing archictural concepts more publicly? Does this imply that in your opinion open (source) projects only work (good) if there is something to be build incrementally (like a bazaar).
I am also asking since I am interested in innovation through open communities. I am wondering why there is not more discussions (which I am sure you have internally at the VPRI) brought onto lists. Maybe one could discuss not only the implementation but also concepts behind the design? Having a daytime job I know that sometimes catching up with a lively community is a challenge, on the other hand seeing where things are going and maybe also join forces in early stages might be interesting, no? For instance there could be other people doing PoC work. Thanks, Jakob Am 08.05.10 18:03, schrieb Alan Kay: > Glad you are interested, but don't hold your breath.
