Hey
FYI, on Orion and OpenSource.
Well, we (=ExOffice Inc., www.exoffice.com, www.exolab.org) have already
tried to "buy them out", so to speak, to make Orion OpenSource. The
Orion team has declined this offer, and I don't think they'll get a
better one (i.e. someone actually paying for making it OpenSource). I
agree that it would be the right way to go, but unfortunately this view
is not shared (AFAIK) by the Orion guys.
I personally work for ExOffice as a subcontractor, and it works great
IMHO. They pay me to do what I do best: create good software. They give
me pointers some times to the big picture and where we as a whole are
heading, but I'm in complete control over my particular project. I don't
think it would be any different with Orion, should they decide to join,
and IMHO they don't seem to need much intervention anyway. Knowing at
least Karl personally these guys are among the best (trust me).
Karl, come to the party tonight (M�rners 5PM) and lets talk about it ;-)
