Small correction. I don't know what "they" are aiming for. I only know what I am aiming for -- and that is to provide a good, affordable compiler toolset for the ordinary user. The SDK/DDK is a low priority for me personally. Right now my main priority is get pch support working. Other mingw developers may have different priorities,
I understand the w32api package is a low on the radar but you and Erine are the main points of contacts so I will direct the questions to you. 1. Is the w32api supposed to be a SDK/DDK package? The answer seems like a yes. 2. Do we want to try and help create a standard for open source Windows development? The WINE people have taken great efforts to make building Winelib application act the same as building a application using Mingw. For me the answer is a big yes. How about the rest of the ReactOS and Mingw people? 3. Can we create a enviroment that all the project involved can work together on? I think the answer is yes but is it worth the work to everyone? Do we want to try and support a enviroment that is the same on all platforms and where all of the applications should run the same? Here is my wish list all partys involved. - I want to be able to build ReactOS, WINE and Open Source Windows Drivers/Apps with as little headache as possible. This means having a common SDK/DDK. - I want to be sure that my app is going to run the same if it is a Mingw compiled application, a Winelib App or a program running under ReactOS (Running Properly under Windows is understood). - I want to try to create a system that makes it easy for anyone to jump in and help any of our projects. The relationship with the WINE/Mingw/ReactOS has been good in the past and we want to keep it that way and make it better. I for one think this is the best way to do this but I have been known to have been wrong once or twice before =) "Can't we all just get along......"
