Is that vision written down somewhere? Surely there is something more than "Unix-like core with the look&feel of 1990s productivity software" keeping people engaged with this project?
- chillfox 4y agoThat is pretty much it, + everything in one repo so that you can fix bugs anywhere in the stack when encountering them. While "Unix-like core with the look&feel of 1990s productivity software" sounds simple, it's more than what most new OS projects I have seen provide and it very clearly signals who it's for. The "look&feel of 1990s productivity software", communicates that the UI will use consistent elements across applications, which is something you only find in Mac OSX these days. The Super welcoming community is the other half keeping people engaged that you are looking for.
- LeFantome 4y agoIf you ask me: - write the whole stack yourself so you can fix any problem or make any improvement without external dependencies or coordination - the implementation is never written in stone and it is always possible to move to something better ( which is why you need to control the whole stack ) - no problem is too big to start solving - implement something basic that works and then improve it ( see all of the above ) - evolve everything in the open
