I have a hard time following what "fluid updates through the network" is supposed to mean. If you mean that patches should be made by the community then that is exactly what 9front is. > > I am not a fan of the weird 9front split from the standard repo.

Why do you dislike 9front? 9front works with the foundation, we have a regular committer who is directly in the foundation. >> On Jan 24, 2024, at 8:50 PM, vic.thac...@fastmail.fm wrote: >> >> To clarify, my message represented a genuine exploration of the idea of >> envisioning a new release. >> >> --vic 9front is exactly what you're envisioning, we keep the system up to date to keep it working in the modern world. Modern hardware support, modern compatibility with software as required, all this stuff. I don't know where you folks think the code is going to come from, there really isn't that much activity outside of 9front. If you want to personally take up the lead and fix everything bug-for-bug starting again from 4e or 9legacy be my guest. But all I see here is asking for others to do the work. - moody ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T42f11e0265bcfa18-M6cbc90c73e5f1ff9ed6c5258 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
