Well, what stays true from this whole conversation is we are truly missing documentation. It's also true that bugging (or insulting) me or other core developers to make it isn't a working solution, however strong the emphasis is or however often it is done. That's still leaves us with the question: How will Harbour get a documentation? If anyone has any ideas, pls tell it. I'm ready to hand off my leader role for someone who is able to show us the solution and seems able and willing to lead the project to actual results here. BTW Now that we have practically complete compatibility with xhb, one (indeed idealistic) and also utopistic solution could be to finally remerge the effort of xhb and Harbour, where xhb would bring the docs, and we'd bring the code. This way both parties would bring its healthy part to the "marriage". xhb leaders would gain a strong and living codebase for their payware products, all users would gain good documentation, and as a "byproduct" the two separate communities would be merged, which is probably better to keep [x]Harbour alive as a language, and also for users seeking to have a compatible Harbour base, and the option for users to get paid support without having to chose between "worlds" (this means more potential market for xhb). "culture clash" could be one potential problem, but it's not a one-way ticket, since the sources stay open, so it's easy to back off in case of some fatal "issue" along the way. It's not a real argument, but looking around the FOSS language landscape, I can't see any successful project which could "afford" such splitting of the community and the luxury of having two of everything. So, such merge would IMO be a net win for all parties. If someone has an opinion on this, particularly xhb team leaders and our core developers and devoted brains around this list, please don't hesitate to express it. > Some hummor (really?) to ease the day ;) > > http://www.kevinwilliampang.com/2008/08/28/top-10-things-that-annoy-programmers/ Not joke, but it's a good one :) Viktor _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
