Guys,
I put the webpages that are intended for www.kaffe.org under this URL
for now:
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~gback/kaffe/
This should make for good Valentine's Day reading. Should take less than
an hour to read. Make sure you follow all links (even if you're in Brazil
or something like that).
It contains several FAQs, about developing, porting, and licensing.
I would like you to do the following:
Tim & Peter, read these pages and tell me whether you would endorse
them or not as far as Transvirtual goes. I'm making several statements
there that could easily create the impression I'm speaking for you, when
in fact I am not. In fact, I am not absolutely sure about some of these
things; if we put these pages up on www.kaffe.org, then this would
require endorsement from you.
Alexandre, you're the closest thing we have to a GNU zealot in this
group. Please, read these pages with an eye on what the "free
software community" would think about them. There sometimes a bit,
shall I say, snippy, especially in the choice of URLs to link to.
My main intention was to be as open and encompassing as possible,
but also to display certain positions; and you can't please everyone
anyway.
Archie, I would like you to read them with the eyes of the community
who uses open source products in commercial products and tell me what
you'd expect they think.
Secondly, one a more technical quote. What are your CGI skills?
Who'd feel competent enough to hack up a CGI script for the porting
and one for the application page? Ideally, we would run a servlet
under Kaffe/JServ and say "powered by kaffe"...; but for the short
time, a CGI script would do. Daniel maybe?
Third, as you'll notice, the pages don't have a design yet.
Let me know if we should stick to TVT's design or if we should choose
a different design; there's good reasons for both. Ideally, I would
like a design that looks *related*, but not *identical*. Kind of
like how the USS Enterprise in the next generation looks kind of like
the old USS Enterprise, but not quite the same? Does that make sense?
I'll be mostly off-line tomorrow and probably on Monday too.
Enjoy,
- Godmar
