Dear Neil, No worrier here. I was jut really trying to gauge if you were trying to be so or if I was just being overly sensitive. I think it was the latter, so think noting of it. The folks here put a lot of sweat, tears, and occasionally even a little blood into their work. There is also a bit of history with at least 4 different companies that I know of engaging us in one way or another over the decades, and most of the interactions ended with less than pleasant memories so there are sensitive places here and there. Like I said, it was not intentional so no worries.
You have a nice vision of things. It is different than many of us, and if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and help (which it sounds like you are) then we can either find a way to integrate it or to help with a fork. Even that is likely to cause some grumbling because inevitably someone reaches out for help from us on one of these off-shoots, and it ends up draining time and resources we would otherwise use to focus on our own projects. One of the key things we need to discuss is if your approach to things (like different OS, new interfaces, etc.) will integrate into the existing infrastructure, or if you are going to try to convince us that something else is better. We are all open to new things, but for us to uproot any underlying assumptions will take a lot of effort on your part to get the ball rolling and to convince us of any benefits. I look forward to looking at the code. I hope I will have time to look into when it comes along, and I wish you the best of luck with your project.
