Timberwolf Progress Update

[spirantho]

Let's not forget here:
a) The Friedens are very busy on the OS itself. If they don't work on it, they get yelled at.
b) When they started for the first time on FF, the OS wasn't ready.
c) Then when the OS was ready, they started and got a working build out of it. At this point FF went to the next major version. Therefore if they continued work, they'd get yelled at because FF was already outdated and therefore useless.
d) Now the OS is ready and FF isn't going to go to a new version, they've been able to get good progress, and will release a demo shortly, they say.

It's all very well saying "oh they're useless because they can't even get FF running", but you're massively underestimating the work involved and the complexity of the situation they're in. Odyssey may be very good, but the writer didn't also have to keep another 4 Amiga camps happy at the same time, did he?

Timberwolf is for OS4 only, there is no "keep another 4(?) Amiga camps happy". Also if you think the Friedens give a **** about anything other than OS4, you need to up the meds. They would be perfectly happy if real Amiga, MOS and AROS all sank to the bottom of the ocean.

Sorry, I didn't mean that. To me the Amiga camp is the OS4 crew, nothing else.
What I meant was that some parts of the OS4 users think the OS is most important (and require development on that), some think the browser is most important - so work should be on that. Some think OpenGL, some think USB2....

Point is, whatever they do, there's only a few of them and a LOT of things to work on, and people will always complain when they're not working on whatever it is they think they should be.
