Yes, it is constructive in the sense that in a very visible way reminds us about the need to make progress. Having said that, it is perfectly natural for communities to reshape due to exploration, change of focus and other such factors, so it is not surprising that you, as an active developer with your own set of ideas and expectations, are trying to make things happen. Actually, *all* programming libraries that exist today were born out of dissatisfaction, SOCI including. :-) I will wish you good luck with your new effort and I will try to be constructive with these points: - Try to gather some kind of core team around you, this will give your product more credibility. - Don't overinvest. DB is a very wide subject and it is easy to spread too thin feature-wise. It is better to solve one specific problem well than many problems poorly. - Be careful with the Boost submission effort, which you have already started on the Boost mailing list. You will need to clearly define what you want before going full steam in this direction. Boost exists for a long time already and there is a reason for why several things are still missing there (hint: the reason is not entirely technical). But I will shut up on this. ;-) In short: good luck and be careful. :-) Regards, -- Maciej Sobczak * www.msobczak.com * www.inspirel.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Soci-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/soci-users
