I already said all that half a year ago. Let's move on to actually
making a usable OS.
Otherwise it's gonna be another chapter in the history of ReactOS
called "Endless Debates" about what way is better :-)
WBR,
Aleksey.

Hi,
Well..I have been here just for a year and a half, and it is pretty
obvious that we are not following any "direction" to achieve
something in common.We are making progress in our own,sometimes
without telling to the others and sometimes introducing regressions
1week before a release thanks to a critical rewrite. Or We are
disappearing without telling to anyone.
We==Testers&&Developers&&Translators&&Designers&&TheCommunity.
I will use this email to state,mainly, that i want to be part of a
team with an objective, so i offer all my testing help (including
those parts i hate to test) to achieve a common goal.I offer my
Testing time as Real Testing time and not as a Hobbie.
Maybe we should try to discuss how to reach that goal,and decide
(all of us) which is the best way to have something working. I dont
know if the correct approach is called Arwinss,Yarotows,WTF!(Want
To Finish!) or whatever.The real approach is the final User. And
the final User "demands" a workable OS asap.We are making this as a
hobbie, but also trying to give a product to the mass(I hope).
We are not acting as a Community,neither me.
The time to find a way has arrived imo.It´s quite discouraging
finding this mess. Discouraging for testers and Discouraging for
Devs. In the latest half year we have lost some Testers because
lack of motivation.And it is called "Road to Nowhere". Devs arrives
to ReactOS Project and they seem to leave quite easy,why?.
I hope this time we can all sit and try to find a real
solution,deciding which is the Goal (a Hobbie,an OS?),which is the
way(comfortable?difficult?no way?hiring internal devs?hiring
external devs?knocking sponsors doors?),and which things are needed
to complete it(money?motivation?a Bugzilla Testing Week?a RSOC
(ReactOS Summer Of Code)?).
Summing up, finding a WHOLE solution to this project called ReactOS.
I think it is not just matter of a Roadmap.
No having a Roadmap(or Milestones) is just the result, not the root
of the problems.
Thanks for the 3 minutes.
