+1 from me (about lack of visibility) However-- what you say may or may not be the case-- but I believe we are not the authorities to judge that. And I do strongly believe that something good may yet come out of it-- products take a long time to fructify-- and in a govt sponsored effort, it's often sensible for a team to just keep at what one is doing-- as debate before one has achieved something can cause a effort (in a govt setting) to get shot down. That's just my opinion- which you may differ with. And I stand by my view that it's better to contribute (given a chance) than to criticize. @Karan: >What project is that then ? and whats your contribution there ? > This is a proprietary compiler based on gcc-- which compiles to generate code targetted at a MIPS microprocessor used in a consumer electronics device. Karan, if we cannot agree-- then let us agree to disagree-- as gentlemen. Your remarks that "I seriously hope for the well being of the project ..." are totally unnecessary and uncalled for and amount to a personal attack. You better STOP THIS NOW. OK ? I stand by what I have said-- and I believe that while your views may be different and acceptable to many, my views are valid too. Maybe someday we will have a chance to talk in person-- have a serious debate-- but until then, it's best if you dont (without knowing anything about me or my background) do not blindly make random and vicious remarks.
