"use libre hosting service" pretty much covers what needs to be done here. build-testing? other than "if it is needed, using libre source build and test programs so that people can duplicate the test and build results for themselves" is *partially* covered under the terms of the GNU GPL(s).... but *not* if people say use the Apache License. so... yes, my feeling is that build and test procedures *if used and/or needed* should really be specified in a general way. > Some questions: > Has anyone else started to work on it (offline)? been too busy here > How long shall the first draft of the standard be (e.g. 10 pages, 100 pages, > as long as > necessary)? short... but as long as necessary. i don't see any reason it should be longer than 10 pages. > As you can see I am looking for guidance and some kind of roadmap to > prevent working in the wrong direction. great! _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
