After reading some of the status & documentation on their new website, I believe that the AROS project has strayed far away from their original
intention of writing an equivalent of the Amiga OS 3.1.
Interesting thought... strange we didn't know yet
Could you please tell us what led you to that conclusion?
Instead, they're trying to incorporate improvements from OS3.5 & 3.9
Again, would be interesting to know what are you referring to...
make the entire project work on any set of hardware out there.
That's been the AROS' goal since it was born.
At that rate, they will never finish the project.
Oh dear, if we were to listen to some of you guys out there, there would indeed be no AROS anymore, just because our moral would go under the pavement.
Fortunately, we're doom-proof :-D
No one is going to volunteer to help them until
they actually release a COMPLETE version of AROS (IMHO).
Well, then one has to wonder how come there actually are people working on it. You know, it's not like someone forced us to do so :-) Evidently, the truth is, as always, in the middle: certainly a finished product would attract more developers, on the other hand, what would those developer develop, if the product is finished? :-)
The kind of developers that we need are the ones that want to help us
finish AROS.
However, it would be interesting to understand what do you mean by "finished". Is linux finished, for instance? Is an OS ever "finished"?
It also doesn't help that very few people even know what they are doing.
That would be quite strange, indeed, as AROS is quite often in the news, and many things (everything) have been explained about it. Unfortunately, we cannot do much about people who just don't listen...

Oh, see? You should perhaps talk less and listen a bit more ;-)
