You might be right about that. It just grew and grew and grew and with cvs as repository it's just a pain in the ass to restructure the directory layout.
Why not to switch over to SVN? :)
We try! I like to use one of my favourite open source citations here: "Hey, it's open source. If you like to see it improved, go ahead!" (No offense!)
There are other problems, like.. who decides the goals of the project, and makes the planning?
As I see it, this is a project of an OS group at an University, the project itself is a kind of experiment, and it's there to fit the needs of the researchers in that group. It's very likely that, if the project gets broadly used outside the University, at some point conflicts would arise about changes needed to achieve this or that, that renders the project unusable for research (or the other way around). What would happen then?
I don't know if these issues have already been discussed inside the OS group, I would appreciate if somebody could explain that, as well as point me to some document about the plans for the near future. The webpages don't make almost reference to TUD:OS yet, they talk about DROPS only...
Greetings.
