post on the SkyOS forums and ask Kelly if he could get in touch with Robert and get us answers to a few questions :
Well... I just registered...And I'll help with the balancing if I can

In this letter we made a few proposals that could improve SkyOS' stability, development process, and more...
[quote]
Those are sensible thoughts too. From my distant point of view, it often looked as if there was no roadmap, no planning, no organisation in the SkyOS development process...And It made me wonder....
Well..one year after signing for beta membership,
I must acknowledge that :
1) SkyOS improves fast (essentially due to Robert "I have 5 arms & 3 brains" coding skills and involvment).
2) We have no clue what the next new features will be,
but usually, they are worth the wait.
3) bugs are squashed in a somewhat random manner...
Actually, Robert looks like he isn't the kind of guy that works best when tied to a development process based on routin and disciplin...
And I would bet my horse that, given a choice between squashing bugs or doing documentation work, he would choose to implement a new feature...
humans...sigh.....
So, maybee that's the reason why this letter of yours didn't have the result you expected...
(even though your ideas are sensible, maybee Robert would just hate working under these conditions)
@Youll and Thom
If you don't want to , I might
1) what about Mister pengui's idea ?
2) now that Beta 8.5 is released, what next Beta 8.6 or beta 9, and what to expect ?
3) As Beta 8 was about networking, what about USB ?
