I followed some discussions about how is the development of the Haiku project and the delay in the release of the final version.
I have been following the progress of Haiku since it was still called OpenBeOS! Very thing was done !! New features were added to the original, which is very good !!
However, in my opinion, some lines of work, although valid, could be left to when the project was already in its final version! For example, the port to other processors! We should focus all the effort first defined what will be the final version, then complete the missing features are finished in function than to set for the final version and finally remove any remaining bugs.
The setting of targets for the completion of the project should be as lean as possible to allow the few developers can focus their efforts.
People like me who unfortunately is unable to contribute code, can help with donations.
I have an idea that might seem crazy to some that would reduce the spectrum of hardware that Haiku can work. Explain, we could elect a small set of computers in a small number of manufacturers (eg, Dell, Lenovo, HP and Samsung) and focus mainly on developing drivers for this hardware reduced. I imagined that seeing Apple's philosophy on having a OS for a hardware specific and hardware for an OS specific!
I'll be waiting stones in this discussion!! I hope comments [constructive comments, of course!! :)].
