-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Be! Progress is cool!
I think selling them should be held off until they've been out in the field awhile and there is a chance for bug reports and stuff. Also, with cost comes an obligation toward product support, are you ready for that? Does Crossfade have its own wiki, forums, homepage? Those are other things for consideration in creating Crossfade as a product. It seems like product support will be the biggest challenge. Also the source should be up somewhere for users to poke at (and file the inevitable bug reports). The container sounds cool. Who makes it? Also, very important when publishing these things to a mailing list (not to mention eventually your website) - HASHES. Out of band verification is good stuff. I request at least sha1, I prefer sha256. MD5 is deprecated and should not be used. Yay for getting the .iso out! I'm gonna wait for you to publish the hash here before I download though, ~RAWRR On Mon, 16 Mar 2015 05:09:18 +0000 "Be" <b...@gmx.com> wrote: >Crossfade GNU/Linux 0.90 is a cross-platform digital DJ system for >USB >flash and portable hard drives.
