I may contribute to Haiku, now that they are putting full-time resources into place. Why would I do this? It is more than nostalgia or fun, although that is part of it. I believe that diversity is vital to keeping the technological landscape healthy. Most people are happy to go with the status quo, fewer are willing to work to make positive changes and even less are willing to fund their efforts. Will something come of Haiku because of this? Directly or indirectly, yes. Someone will be working on a vision that may differ from that of Apple/Microsoft/linux, etc. This will have a ripple effect as either Haiku succeeds, or those who work on it take their viewpoints and knowledge to other companies and efforts. Either way, this sort of diversity helps out in keeping the technological ecosystem from becoming more and more of a monoculture.
