Anyway, as to maintainership, this is a good question. But how comes adding a clone of IE is nuts, but the rest of Wine is sane, hmm? :) This whole thing is completely crazy to some extent, but here we are in 2003 with two companies working on Wine and many volunteers.... it would probably require a D3D style dedicated team to work on it though, which so far doesn't exist.
Oh no - you open software developers are off your head! Next thing you will be developing a .NET replacement! Wait, you are. Hmm, nobody will be crazy enough to work on an entire GUI shell, though. Two you said? Not including the small ones? Not a modern OS, though. HOW many? Surely none is enterprise ready! What precentage of web servers? PEOPLE! GET A LIFE!!!!
Good thing I'm not part of it.
What do you mean by "grep wine/AUTHORS"?
AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!
P.S. Yes, I spent the day working on a perl util to convert an MSSQL DB to postgres for a client (yes, I'm getting paid to do this, at least, I hope does anybody happen to know something that does that already?). I think expecting any USEFUL mails from me would be a total waste of time. Sorry for the OT posts.
