Just thought... should we anounce (should I say flood) every 0.000000001 version change in our things here? Or once we announce something everyone interested can check our site (if there is such) for updates?

I thought I'd place a notice here this time simply because it has been a few months since there had been any change. All my normal announcements are placed in the DSource site. So I've placed a total of 4 here over six months - is that flooding? Who has been flooding the group with announcements? And if we only ever make one announcement here, how would people, who are new to the group, get to hear about new releases if they never saw the first notice? -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia 12/08/2005 8:14:00 PM

Just share my thoughts...And if we only ever make one announcement here, how would people, who are new to the group, get to hear about new releases if they never saw the first notice?You got point.

I don't think this newsgroup gets too much traffic. Design discussions for particular projects should probably move to dsource or some other forum if they get long. If an announcement spawns a rather long thread that I'm not interested in I skip it.

If someone made a program in D and was actually making money off it, I would be pretty excited for them, as a commercial product made in D could only mean better exposure for D. And as I'm making a (currently) closed-source project, I take this comment somewhat personally. Then again, with your attitude towards closed-source software, you're probably using Linux and wouldn't be able to use my project anyway.

Mr. Billingsley, maybe I am close-minded, but if someone uses this newsgroup for commercial advertizements, than it is IMHO expected that people like me will simply mark that thread as readed and continue to next one. D will get exposure with, or without closed-source or non-free software projects. I am one of those developers who think that soon era of closed-source and non-free software will be over. I am pretty sure even You mister are using almost 50% of free-software at the moment. I am cross-platform developer, system administrator, and DBA, with more than 13 years of working experience, and I am developing software for different plaforms. Yes, I am using GNU/Linux, multiple versions of Windows (TM), Solaris and few other Unices, and I have developed closed-cource applications as well. :) About open-source, and D popularization: IMHO open-source, free software named GDC propagated D more than ANY other, commercial D project. I would dare to say it propagated D more than _ALL_ commercial D projects TOGETHER! Why? How? - It made MacOSX developers "feel" D, use it, and develop their projects in this wanderfull language - same about any other platform GDC currently works on, which almost about ALL platforms! :) After all, If I say that I am not interested in such types of projects and do not look at them on announcements - that is my business, isn't it? I apologize if I somehow offended You or somebody else. -- ........... Dejan Lekic http://dejan.lekic.org

I'm used to the typical Linuxheads with huge egoes who won't touch anything un-Linux with a ten foot pole, and who don't give anything that isn't open-source any kind of credit. I believe that both open-source and closed-source can be used responsibly, and will not discredit or ignore a piece of software if it uses one or the other. You're right, I do use a lot of open-source programs, but I use a lot of closed-source ones as well, as how the program was developed does not necessarily dictate the quality or utility of the software.

The licenses for DMD were set up so that both open and closed source developers can use it. Both are welcome, and both are welcome to post announcements here.

Walter, I just wanted to note that I never said closed-source project announcements are not welcomed - it is not on me to say anyway since I am not the host. :) Regards -- ........... Dejan Lekic http://dejan.lekic.org

Just thought... should we anounce (should I say flood) every 0.000000001 versionYes, why not? I don't have to visit every site of the project to see the changelog. Besides, here are not 100 new procjets every month announced, the traffic is low. -- uno (unodgs tlen.pl)
