Matt, you're an excellent coder, I've been following your work since the Amiga days with DICE. Same to you John, your work on SMPng is excellent. Do you guys want to know what the problem is? There's a TOTAL LACK of communication between you, and I don't mean only Matt and John, but most kernel developers. Why don't you try to solve the communication problem first? The problem is not P4, it's not who's patches are right, it's that nobody seems to know what the other is working on. Use this mail list, use irc, set up some regular meetings, but keep all the rest of the developers informed on what you do or are going to. God knows how many duplicate work and flame wars this can save. All this flaming can only hurt the project and gives a very bad impression to external viewers. Just my $0.02 Charles. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
