I think you mean it well, but say it wrong. I think what you mean is a team
system like they have in haiku.

Oh I completely agree that the end objective of making a nice complete
OS for the end user is a very useful goal to have in mind. My point is
that I see that as matching up to the goals of a distro, say Ubuntu
for example. Something like a tftp server would, in Ubuntu's case,
simply be a package that you could download through the package
manager. Why not simply add the tftp server to ReactOS's downloader as
an optional package? That would seem to be the best place to put it,
as it is very obviously a completely optional userland tool.
Zachary's poin about the manpower issue is very important, though, and
I feel I should add my 2 cents to the discussion here. One of the
fundamental ways in which large projects can be made to work well with
more developers is for the project to split into smaller
"sub-projects" with well-defined interfaces between them and reduced
dependancies. This works no matter what kind of software project we're
referring to - for example, you have IRC clients as standalone
projects, and IRC servers as different projects, even though they are
each both completely useless without the other. Developers can work on
an IRC client and get to know it really well, without having to know
the faintest thing about how an IRC server handles multiple
connections and so forth.
Splitting things across well-defined boundaries makes it easier for
programmers to help out, not harder! Using our IRC example, a
programmer could delve deep into the code of their favourite IRC
client and not have to learn anything about the server. It means a
smaller amount of stuff to learn before a programmer becomes useful,
and this attracts developers to a project.
>From people's answers beforehand in the thread. it seems that there
may currently be technical reasons why a USER32 replacement can't
currently be done (i.e. internal undocumented interfaces). I guess I
need to ask the experts out there - are there DLLs or components in
ReactOS that can be completely separated out? What parts could be run
on windows currently? What parts don't currently run, but could in
theory?
The other point to make about distros, is that nothing in the ReactOS
license prevents someone from starting a ReactOS distro. This means
that it is virtually guaranteed to happen as ReactOS matures, and we
need to be ready for it. For example, say if Debian wanted to do a
Debian/ROS distribution, like they do Debian/Hurd or Debian/FreeBSD at
the moment. Debian could take the ROS kernel and some other userland
bits and pieces. They might compile up some DLLs from Wine instead of
from ROS, if Wine has newer bugfixes. It would be technically possible
to port the "apt" package manager to ROS and offer packages for common
open source tools like OpenOffice, the GIMP, Firefox and so on.
There's nothing technically or legally that ROS can do to stop it, so
instead we should work out how we as a project are going to cope with
it WHEN (yes, when) it happens.
Would we be OK with that? How will we cope when a distro is shipping
our kernel, but with Wine's DLLs? Do we need to do anything
differently than how we do now? Do we need to make our build process
easier for distro packagers?
Best regards,
Peter Millerchip.

CHAPTER VII. THE FOUR CLASSES OF SOCIETY. THE FOUR CLASSES OF SOCIETY. "After the herald had given the names of the wrestlers who were to make the first round, the fellows came in. They were dressed without any clothes to speak of, or rather they were quite undressed, with the exception of a cloth around their loins. They came in on opposite sides of the ring, and stood there about five feet apart, each man resting his hands on his knees, and glaring at the other like a wild beast. They[Pg 231] looked more like a pair of tigers than human beings, and for a moment I thought it was not at all unlike what a bull-fight in Spain might be. I turned upon her choking with anger, but her melting beauty rendered me helpless. Black woods were on our left. "Shall we turn in here?" I asked. "None of that with me," he growled. "Do you know who I am, Countess Lalage? I am Leon Lagage, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, and your husband. Incomparable woman, you cannot alter that fact. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, till death do us part!" I have in this way imperfectly indicated a methodical plan of generating a design, as far as words alone will serve, beginning with certain premises based upon a particular work to be performed, and then proceeding to consider in consecutive order the general character of the machine, mode of operation, movements and adjustments, general arrangement, strains, special arrangement, and proportions. ‘Alas! what is life, what is death, what are we, 11th January two best dresses.

The next morning he was up betimes, and cooked the boys as good a breakfast as he could out of the remainder of his store and what he could get from the hospital, and then gave what was left to whoever came. The comfortable crib, which had cost the Deacon so much labor, had been pre-empted by the Surgeon for some of his weakest patients. "You two step forward one pace," he commanded. "Gentleman, I've got my six. The rest are yours." "Where are you goin'?" he said sternly. Every now and then the crowd would break into the latest rhymings of MacKinnon's poet: A large thicket, at this moment, gave the dusty foot an opportunity of doubling, and, for an instant, diverging from the straightforward course, though it availed him little, he seemed to feel the breath of his pursuer on the back of his neck; his foot sounded as if at his heels; he drew his garment closely around him, turned suddenly to the right, and, bounding from the ground, the next instant a splash was heard in the little river, and the fugitive was safe from his pursuer.
