True enough. Though, at the same time keep batting around the
video ideas and feel free to stoke up some others like for
networking.
Coding-wise I want to keep myself focused on getting the
virtualization framework more complete. But we're getting
_really_ close to that point where we can spin off modular
sub-projects like video/audio/networking/documentation/GUI/etc.
So keep the interaction going. Bring it on!
While I'm at it, here's some thoughts about plex86
development, in general. Keep in mind that this whole
thing is as much a learning experience for me, as for
everyone else.
1) We're getting close to that thresh-hold, where plex86
runs enough stuff to become usable by more and more people.
I think development traffic, and user interest will snowball.
And thus, users' demands of the software will grow as well.
I'm getting mentally prepared for this. It might get crazy!
2) As things pick up with plex86, I believe it will be increasingly
important that we periodically focus on making stable releases.
So after periods of coding progress, we take time and focus on
clean-up, bug-fixes, documentation, testing etc. This way we
can offer stable and usable releases to users. Then back to hacking.
I would like to operate in this cycle.
