Hi All,
Some of you might have seen my recent on the post regarding the build process: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12240&start=15
As I mentioned, it would help greatly to lower the barrier-to-entry to less-experienced developers, as well as more experienced developers who might have limited time budgets [Who among us does not have a limited time budget?].
I wanted to send out this message to let everyone know that I intend to use what bit of time that I available right now, at the beginning of January, to tackle this issue head-on. Again, my purpose here is not to step on anyone's toes, but make certain that we never turn away a potentially-valuable contributor simply because they are unnecessarily removed from their development comfort zone. I do realize that there is already on-going work on the build process, and I have no intention of interfering with that.
I will wait 24-hours for any objections/reservations from now before making a hard commitment, but frankly, we really to get this done, like right now.
Happy New Year. :)
