If You Want to Save BeOS

I screw around here some times. But this is drop dead serious.

I want a fully functional BeOS replacement.

Overall Haiku is disfunctional. Its stagnant.

No good suggestion escapes a denial from this group.

We have been brought the bad news: its package manager is designed to make it as difficult as possible to port open source applications people want to use.

There are serious flaws in the libraries, they have to be built in Linux. The linker is broken.

The Kernel, as good as it was made...has serious memory issues.

The Board won't remove themselves and developers refuse to fix most issues that are raised...and most of these issues are valid. Yet raising these issues only results in censorship. And Oliver's crockodile tears.

The only person close to legit to lead us to the promised land is a person who has done everything he could for the good of the community at all times. Period.

No, that's not me.

That is KARL VON DORFF.

No one paid him to care, that's just the way he was in the important position he was in.

He would be the perfect leader if he placed less importance on bounties. I do think payment is important though. So I'm not poo pooing bounties.

However, money can't buy solutions to practically unfixable problems. And all Haiku has managed to do is create unfixablle problems, at least within the confines of its social structure.

In contrast, Senryu offers a chance for the disenfranchised to become reenergized with a project that has a worthwhile goal.

So its time to move on and work within a structure that is most viable for BeOS' user's future. Because Haiku has proven it is not up to the task. Don't throw your time away. Work with a project with a future.

Folks, the only way we will get anywhere is if KARL steps up and saves the community. That's it.

There are talented committed people working on Haiku. But Jessica can only take Haiku so far.

NO PRESSURE KARL.
