FW: Reaction project announcement

[Steve Walters]

As an incapable user I am just happy that someone thought of coming up with a software repository idea for Reactos.

It works well in Ubuntu and anyway why should Linux have all the good stuff n ideas?

Another good linux practice that would work for Windows/Reactos is a dedicated partition for your memory swap file to prevent defragging over time.

I would say it this way: To keep a specific technology like Python out of ReactOS is simply a matter of politics. Yes, politics. It would be rather wise to choose the technology which is most suitable, and when it comes to runtime environments, interpreters etc., it is very important to get as many of them as possible runnable on ReactOS. This will attract more developers and testers.

Yes, ReactOS is not Linux...but it still has one thing in common: It is targeted towards those who find Win*** too un-free and expensive.

Cheers

Hello all!

In general, whenever substantive criticism is made of ideas about policy in,
or purpose of, React OS, it¹s important that we all know the speaker¹s role
in the project.

There should never be a problem with voicing constructive criticism of the
ideas of others.  On the other hand, it helps to add context when we know
the speaker¹s role.  The meaning of any statement varies depending on
whether the speaker is in a position making policy.  I know that projects
such as React OS are supposed to be somewhat democratic but, as someone else
aptly pointed out, it¹s hard to avoid politics.

Regards,

David
