Though, when I said that OHF has to be representative, that means that the leading example should not be OGP only. Otherwise this could be perceived as an egocentric action and OHF will lose his credibility. One should avoid the conclusion that OHF=OGP, ending up in a signal instead of a grounding noise.

Traversal will probably have no choice than to retain his asset for a time before a real release. And here stands the potential feeling of an underlyed hypocrisy until the design is released. This issue depends from how the things are presented.
Hence, before we make some noise, one has to figure clearly what does making hardware involve in such a way that the like-minded people realise their own situation relatively to the question. >From my point of view, I see four areas: - EDA development - Core logic development - Design development - Product development The latter is the most interesting area, because one can develope a product only on the hardware's specification, but without any control on its design, thus, depending from the hardware manufacturer. As far as I've understood, this was the case of the LART project, and that the main distinguo here: hardware's specification is not enough without any mean to renew a discontinued componment. One can of course extend the hardware's involvements up to the applications and the operating system, which is not false especially for the free-OSs: these are nearby to be locked-out of the hardware and relagated to the platonician world of the idea. Put like that, MorphOS has a better foundation. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
