OK, let me chime in on this. Jim and I had several conversations on topics like this before I took over. I want to share the current thinking.
We, as a group, have made a significant impact on the open source community and computing in general. This is something we need to keep in mind as we move forward, because there are people out there who depend on good ol' DOS functionality. On the other hand, we can't stand still because if we do, the project dies. Let me present the broad road map that exists at this time. The current release will continue along with better compatibility, possibly including running pre Win2K Windows, a new installer, formalizing a FreeDOS GUI, and of course bug fixes. We will start a new development branch that will remove the 8086 restriction, expand processor coverage, file systems, etc., and allow us to move FreeDOS forward. We will be developing this road map over the next couple of weeks. It is for this reason that I started this thread. I ask that all of you continue to provide constructive input so that we can start working on new stuff and have some fun while we're doing it.
