Development tools, most definitely: things like the Linux Trace
Toolkit, the StethoScope data monitor
(<http://www.rti.com/products/stetho_linux/index.html>), better
documentation (especially installation, porting, debugging and signals),
more support for the Comedi driver project, ..
Secondly, I think it's very important to start building a ``users''
community around RTL now (of course, without letting down the
``(co)developers'' community it is now), which means having on-line
lots of programming examples, starting and stimulating ``Foundation
Classes'' for several real-time application areas (control,
communication, ...)
With all this, it becomes easy to use RTL as a ``one-stop'' solution
in companies and university classes about real-time, which can only
improve its penetration in the market.
Finally, more of a `marketing' issue: make _absolutely clear_
statements available about the patent issue. My experience is that the
patent scares potential industrial users away because it's such a gray
zone that you have created... BTW, Real-Time Innovations is selling
their StethoScope monitoring tool, and I guess that involves changing
the source code of the RTL kernel? What is the patent saying about
this?
Anyway, thanks again for all your efforts, and those of your team! I
wish you good luck.
