Thanks for setting this up, Ian. When I go to Log in/ create account I don't
see any way to actually create an account. I tried both Chrome, Firefox and
Safari on OS X.
description sounds like it is specific to the FoNC / VPRI projects...
in my case, I am working on my own technology for my own purposes, so I
really don't know how it would fit.
FWIW, all of my VM/language stuff is generally being released under the
MIT license (sort of... me and putting things online has been hit or
miss, as for me going and putting in all the header comments). other
parts of the project (mostly my 3D stuff) are likely to be proprietary
though (me trying to devise some way to actually make an income here...).
however, I just figure ideas can be provided if/when they seem relevant.
admittedly, I sort of believe the "implementation is the thing" mindset
to be a bit wrong, and personally believe that having (or at least
allowing for) multiple implementations is a better policy. many people
in FOSS land though don't really seem to believe in this, leading some
projects to have a sort of "authority" thing going on, and the creators
to not be open to the possibility of alternative implementations, which
is sad...
a downside though is that the above generally requires fairly
comprehensive documentation and standardization, otherwise one may end
up with a mass of only partially-compatible implementations (which is
not likely nearly as beneficial).
modularity is also good though, as personally I don't believe
homogeneity to be a workable strategy either, and implementations need
some room for freedom as well. hence, leading to a belief for the need
for abstract APIs and black-boxes.
...
or such...
