I remember a few years ago in this forum someone trying to revive netrek. He had this "entrepreneural" stance, too ambitious in my opinion, never gathered steam as far as i know.<br></blockquote><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important;">Maybe you're talking about me. I have a day job(s) to pay bills but I am still working towards this end. Who knows when I will finish. Don't wait for me.</span></blockquote></div><br><div>Hi Jared,</div><div>I don't know if it was you really, I just recall the posts. Please excuse me if you were the one and I if offended you in any way. The point I was trying to make is that small, focused and incremental steps sometimes work better than a big plan, in the context of open source projects., with few developer time available. I have nothing against commercial software development, in fact that is what I do for a living. </div><div>Regards,</div><div>Lawrence.</div><div><br></div></body></html>
