Thanks all for taking FreeDOS to where it is.  Since the time when
personal commitments no longer allowed me the luxury to contribute, this
team has taken FreeDOS forward and met the project's goal.  We now have
a stable MS-DOS replacement that is open source and supported.  I thank
you for your kind words and I also want to thank you for your
contributions.  The success of this project is the result of the time
and effort donated by all its developers and supporters, and I
appreciate what you have done.

Until I left hp ~2.5 years ago, I was restricted in my activities.  I
strictly adhered to company policies, and I continued developing
experimental kernels and microkernels on my own time.  Some of that
development may be applicable to FreeDOS, much of it is not.  I now work
for Vonage and my professional activities no longer conflict with this
open source development activity.  I'm getting restless and want to play
again :-)

The question was posed for selfish reasons, but it will help guide me in
making something that may benefit others.  To this end, I am interested
in what developers feel would help FreeDOS.  Your opinions may help
shape some current work.  I appreciate all input, both on this mailing
list and received privately.  Please continue to send them, regardless
of whether or not you feel it is achievable or acceptable.  You can ask
Jim, and he can tell you that nearly everyone thought that we could not
achieve what we have today.

I will post a summary of what I receive here, so that everyone will
benefit from this poll.  Thanks.

Pat
