While I don't necessarily share the view that this mailing list needs to be exclusively about elitist FreeDOS development, I do think that it should be a list at least about (DOS) development. Announcements of random new micro-projects is not development. Unless the post would be "I hit a problem in my fortune program which leads to crash and I don't get what's going on", or the project would be helpful to developers (like some neat library, or a new compiler or what not) but here it's not. Simple announcements are, I think, better posted to the user list, and/or to comp.os.msdos.apps, comp.os.msdos.misc & alt.os.free-dos. When I subscribe a devel list, I expect low activity, but on the rare occasions when there is activity at all I expect it to be actually interesting. Mateusz -- FreeDOS is present on the USENET, too! alt.os.free-dos _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
