As an enduser with virtually no coding skills, and absolutely no developer skill/expirience I have no idea what Gunnars request entails. He did point out that it would require committing to significant time offered and asm.
Noone has taken him up on it.
Im not going to pretend I know what he needs from the coder, do you?
Either way, with noone stepping up, they seem intent on following their own priorities, which I see no need to be negative about, since I contribute absolutly zero to the work, which I think is the case for the majority of us.
Why you feel inclined to call me a fanboi just cause I accept they follow their own internal map is beyond me.
I could rant and rave about xyz not being done yet, but it wont make development process go any faster, and it just demoralizes the team. They are actually humans afterall.
Why noone step up to do it. Because he demands something the most people do not want:
see here this old "Deleted" apollo FPU discussion
http://apollo-core.com/knowledge.php?b=4¬e=5385&order=&x=5see the 3rd entry.
he wants something like RIVA, so an incompatible Powerapplication only fast/only work on Apollo therefore it has to be plain written in assembler. when you browse further in this thread you will find a lot offers for routines (raytracing, 3d stuff usually) to test the implementation.
I even would do that, even in assembler if I have to be... but only to develop an incompatible new instruction set like AMMX.. no thanks.
