The only case your effort might be wasted is if you
I think I would be a good example of a potential new developer, one that
would be valuable and interested in the project. So perhaps my opinion may
count to an average of the way others like me would see ReactOS.
Maybe my opinion might be also valuable because I have been managing large
scale pro
It could go to ros-general then, but it fits forums the best. The
issue started out as a development problem though.

I read the ROS-DEV mailing list to get information on development issues and

not to read everyone story on how they found ROS.
IMO this stuff needs to be kept on the f
For me I discovered ReactOS many years ago during its CLI-only days
during my search for alternative OSs. I essentially searched for new OSs
to try and follow :)
What I think may help the exposure of ReactOS is to work on a really
polished release every so many months, something which can act l
My story is a bit more interesting. Short version: Wikipedia. Long version:
I was looking around for a list of OSes, to see 16-bit ones, 32-bit ones,
8-bit ones, etc. I was more interested in how much you can do with few bits
- 8 or 16, for example. I was trying to find out what the latest NT vers
Hello All,
I just thought I should mention how I found out about ROS: there was
a torrent on our local tracker with a short title "ReactOS 0.3.9".
And I said to myself - WTF? I never heard about an OS by that name.
And only 30 Mb?
I.e., by pure accident :)
But on the other hand, if ROS weren't
I have a crapload of those, alas they often require a bit more work than
stubplementing a few api`s. Some are in bugzilla for years... well i
understand that there were more important things. I still think that "make
this and that app work" is just a theory, wont work, or will require hefty
hacks.
Hi,
Well it´s nice to see that a Dev is asking in the ML about this issue. If
instead Samuel the email were sent by a new guy,the most probably answer would
have been "Patches are accepted","Less arguing more patching","DIY"..which is a
nice way of saying "shut up" and not trying to find a way.

Good post, Samuel, but it seems you are mostly concerned with
attracting users. I think that on this stage of the project it all
boils down
Good post, and thanks for backing me - I keep telling the same for
years!
And, keep watching, an end to "reactos sucks" era is coming very soon.

You Samuel, should know best, that application functionality cannot be
isolated from general OS bugfixing. As we know, it often looks like:
application z needs functionality y that can only be implemented if
component x is rewritten and requires w to be fixed in kernel. You cannot
just "make z work
Interesting ideas, I can definitely see potential in them :)
Coincidentally, I began work on the ReactOS Synthesis project last year,
with the intention of making a utility which would replace components in
Windows with their ReactOS equivalents after they had been tested to be
stable. While th
Hello everyone. I find myself today thinking, as I sometimes do, about the
ReactOS problem. How come we are trying to clone the biggest and arguably
the most popular desktop OS in the world and still have such a small
community/user base?
The obvious answer to this question is that ros doesn’t do
