- Redefine our target. We have a very end-user

users actually exist! currently we need developers not yet more fun, nice ,
but non productive users . If you take a brief look at our webpage the first
impression is "wow! a free windows clone than runs mozilla and OpenOffice!!"
but .. it's that what we have? I don't think so.. How many times has someone
asked in the channel how to run office 2007 or complaining about ReactOS not
installing into his brand new notebook . IMHO we should turn into a more
developer oriented community . Inset of promoting reactos as windows killer
we may promote it as learning platform for IT students. As a great
opportunity to study an alternative non unix microkernel OS design .It will
lead into more passionate productive people joining the project. Don't
promote it in international user oriented events but on universities and
collages, we can give speeches on our respective collages and promote it
among teachers as learning vehicle.
- Redefine short term goals and turn reactos into something usable right
now. Could be reactos interesting for the embedded market as a headless ,
well known Win32 API, tcp/ip enabled OS running on cheap x86 based hardware?
