The only problem in the ksh93 project is people who are not part of
the project team and who are not participating in the review and
who understand bugger all of the processes we created for OpenSolaris
and which have worked reasonably well for Sun internally, butting
in with inflamatory remarks when there's even the slightest hint
of constructive criticism in messages from Sun employees.
The major problem with the ksh93 project is Sun Microsystems who is
adding more and more mindless rules. Once one task has been finished
Sun always comes up with two more items. Which kind of cooperation is
this? I really think there are too many rules. They may work within
Sun and may even explain the degradation of quality once Sun tries to
ship it (re: JDS versus normal Gnome) but this is hardly appropriate
for an Open Source project.
Ok Josh, how about you provide detail on which of those "rules"
Sun is suddenly pushing forward, and why they are mindless. If
they truly are "mindless" then it would be really good for other
people to find out why.
