I don't think it's "too hard", I simply think it's hard. It being hard means that somebody, or probably at most a few somebodies, need to be ready and willing to truly kill themselves over a "hero project" in FreeBSD before it will really start flying. They can't simply content themselves with whining that "somebody" (like core) needs to somehow wave a magic wand and cause all that hard work to be done, because that just ends up with people being annoyed. The sorcerer's apprentice we're not. :) As to getting universities interested, I think we need to get more CS professors involved and the Right Things may follow. Any pointers, Professor Cox? :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
