Apologies for the misquote, but what attitude is this?
You were talking like the first BB and most of the OS3.5 project were actually
something MORE than a hobby project with "status". That's just plain wrong.
Olaf Barthel did the first BoingBag practically in his spare time. The only
difference between it and a hobby is that a hobby doesn't usually get a bunch
of high-profile beta testers.
I just wish people would stop thinking of things in such awe and amazement,
when it's totally unfounded. And worrying when something apparently takes
a back seat, when it's actually been sitting in the basement, nowhere near
getting into the car, for the last 6 months.
And like BoingBag 2 is actually essential, either: as far as I've been told, it
introduces a few minor bugfixes and that's it. No major new bits, no major
fixes (there aren't any to do apparently) and just a bundle of contributions
again to fill out the archive.
Thanks
