ReactOS is one of the slowest moving open-source projects I've ever seen. It's amazing to me that it is still going.
It's interesting to look at the release dates of the different versions:
0.0.10 came out in 1998, 0.1.0 in 2003, 0.2.0 in 2004, and 0.3.0 in 2006.
So, it's been 6 years since the 0.3.0 release and we're now on 0.3.14.
Does anyone know how many people are still actively involved?

- LinaLauneBaer 14y agoAre you sure that measuring progress in version numbers is a good idea?
- james4k 14y agoMaybe not, but the project is still considered 'alpha' after 14+ years, and generally not recommended for use unless you're curious or involved in development, or as they put it: "not recommended for everyday use". Looking at the major releases was just a quick (albeit crude) way to try to understand how it's progressed.

That's far from stagnated or even "slowest-moving," in my book.
