Hi,
Well..I have been here just for a year and a half, and it is pretty obvious
that we are not following any "direction" to achieve something in common.We are
making progress in our own,sometimes without telling to the others and
sometimes introducing regressions 1week before a release thanks to a critical
rewrite. Or We are disappearing without telling to anyone.
We==Testers&&Developers&&Translators&&Designers&&TheCommunity.
I will use this email to state,mainly, that i want to be part of a team with an
objective, so i offer all my testing help (including those parts i hate to
test) to achieve a common goal.I offer my Testing time as Real Testing time and
not as a Hobbie.
Maybe we should try to discuss how to reach that goal,and decide(all of us)
which is the best way to have something working. I dont know if the correct
approach is called Arwinss,Yarotows,WTF!(Want To Finish!) or whatever.The real
approach is the final User. And the final User "demands" a workable OS asap.We
are making this as a hobbie, but also trying to give a product to the mass(I
hope).
We are not acting as a Community,neither me.
The time to find a way has arrived imo.It´s quite discouraging finding this
mess. Discouraging for testers and Discouraging for Devs. In the latest half
year we have lost some Testers because lack of motivation.And it is called
"Road to Nowhere". Devs arrives to ReactOS Project and they seem to leave quite
easy,why?.
I hope this time we can all sit and try to find a real solution,deciding which
is the Goal (a Hobbie,an OS?),which is the way(comfortable?difficult?no
way?hiring internal devs?hiring external devs?knocking sponsors doors?),and
which things are needed to complete it(money?motivation?a Bugzilla Testing
Week?a RSOC(ReactOS Summer Of Code)?).
Summing up, finding a WHOLE solution to this project called ReactOS.
I think it is not just matter of a Roadmap.
No having a Roadmap(or Milestones) is just the result, not the root of the
problems.
Thanks for the 3 minutes.
