Well Nick B, With no propsals, our 'work' has been helping people understand how to MAKE one.
Ozz had a lot of problems with no modern guides. Modern developers aren't passing new guides to those who can follow suit. We have 'pipeline development' now. Modern tech tells us that is a dead end eventually.
Some of us are helping developers with how to get the 'word out' and then we see what works.
I'd really hope Stas will help at least with some tech to smartphones IOS if I got right. I'd like to see somthing from the Mystic developer and to see SBBS actually submit suggested implementation proposals would be excellent. Technically SBBS is open source but that doesnt mean others know the basics to find it.
So, any better ideas? With no repository on 'how-to' we leave all developers hanging and we die. It doesnt MATTER if it is a proposal or raised to a standard just now. It needs to be where they can find it.
