hi
lastly , many people have talked about software design .
it's very encouraging .
somebody , i think it was joel errikson , mentiones that he needs
h.w. to start coding .
there's a simple way to overcome this problem - if there would be
some h.w. simulator posted here , then work could be started without
a machine .
i don't know excatly what this would take , but my feeling is that
it's not a big project , actually even pretty small maybe . so if
somebody would like to work on this , it would great benefit the
software side .
second issue that could be started without hardware and might be
quite intersting , would be to talk with many nfb professionals , and
maybe researchersh in university , and ask them what all the things
they would like to see in such a device , wiht many details as
possible , even make mockups of gui's etc ...
only after such data would be gathered and organized , we would have
a way to see what , and how needs to be done for a truly open source
software .
also in the same way , somebody should try to determine what and
where would be the technical challenges ( for example , one problem
is display speed - as rob , the designer of electric-guru said ) .
so these issues needs to be determined , and organized in an orderly
fashion .
e.g. a guy called waldemar that was on the group made some work on
the architecture of such a design . i don't know realy where it is ,
but "if you seek , you shall find " :)
if not i'll try to help .
sincerly
