I am a Linux programmer myself, and I certainly agree with you. Releasing
it under the GPL (GNU public license) would probably give the most linux
programmers an incitament to work on it. I saw that someone actually
suggested gnu-eeg as the name for the device, I don't think that is
necessary but naming the software package GNU EEG or similar may be
a good idea.
I'm not saying Windows users should be ignored though, using Cygwin's
GCC to compile the software for Windows would be a viable solution to
that I think. For graphics we could use libSDL, which is a portable
and powerful graphics library.
What do the other people on the list think? The programmers? If the
Windows programmers and Linux programmers don't want to duplicate
eachothers efforts this is probably the best solution.
