Alex Taylor:

--- Quote from: Martin Iturbide on August 27, 2014, 02:21:47 am ---If I look it from the developer resource that we have from this community we have:
- Right now, Qt, OpenJDK are getting old, and Firefox, SWT-Eclipse and OpenOffice are active (if we talk about Bitwiseworks).
- From the other side we have Alex Taylor which have very good PM skills but it is busy (I guess) building up eCS package (installer, PM apps, etc).
- David,  Steven and Lars are more focused on drivers, and everybody request drivers on this platform.. so drivers may be a never-ending story.

My PM skills aren't that great... certainly not a patch on Steven's or most other long-standing OS/2 developers'. I have a few specialized areas of knowledge, that's all (fonts, Unicode, and to a lesser extent printing).


--- Quote ---The companies that have sponsors should also think about this. Making drivers and porting libraries it is a short-term strategy for the platform. Cloning PM and other APIs is long term strategy.... why it has to be Open Source? ...becuase remember that IBM dropped this platform on the past.

--- End quote ---

Agreed.
