Core Team Disbands
[30 December 2003]
The XFree86 core team has voted to disband itself, effective 31 December 2003. Comments about this can be made on Forum at XFree86 dot org ; registration is not necessary.
The [email protected] is available for discussing high level issues relevant to
XFree86 and it’s related technologies. This list is also a good place to raise issues that span multiple projects in the XFree86 technology space, such desktops, window managers, tools and applications but is not appropriate for either user support questions or detailed development discussions.

I advocated this move earlier in the year, but a majority of the
core team didn’t agree with me at that time. Fortunately that
changed.

I don’t see a problem with forked code bases, etc. I believe that
variety and competition are healthy. Why force eveyone into the
same mould? Giving people choices as to where and how they apply
their skills can only increase the overall level of contributions.
Everyone can choose the project that best suits them, or if none
do, create their own. Anything else stifles creativity and
innovation.
不是吧?
不是吧?
是不是 被 駭客入侵?
我不相信 這麼會般草草了事的 “解散消息” 是真的!!
不過如果是真的, 那對 linux 的X發展會有什麼影響呢?
刚刚在www.xfree.org看到
刚刚在www.xfree.org看到没有1个小时,发现到处都有这个消息了…
不知道会不会是新的开始
到了真正进攻桌面的时候了？已经吹想号角？
说实话，本来对XFree就每太多好感，最好是重组，估计也是内部分裂严重只好解散，从上次分裂就看出端倪了。
Xfree解散了，以后会怎
Xfree解散了，以后会怎么发展啊？
linux会怎么样呢？

Linux核心项目XFree86项目组分裂 引起大讨论
今天早上到 linuxaid.com.cn 給 2003年度Linux十大资讯评选 (2003-12-31 23:58:58) 投下我的一票, 這是其中我的十分之一件:
Linux核心项目XFree86项目组分裂 引起大讨论
想來, XFree86開發組織的解散, 非一日之寒. 這會給我們一些什麼警示嗎?
看來, 這一年會是一個GNU/Linux脫變的一年, 就由 X 的 Core 開始.
看來, 這次的解散, 還
看來, 這次的解散, 還是一件值得慶賀的事呢!! 以下是 David Dawes — 現任XFree86開發人員的頭目, 他給其它人對解散一事的關心作了以下的回答, 大概的意思是: 這次的解散在2003年初而經在醞釀, 最終的決定是組織內大部份人的共同意願. (那其中的矛盾, 可參考我前一篇提及的 一篇新聞. 涉及 開源項目的開發模式, 我在linuxfans.org內看過一篇討論, 對現有的協同開發模式進行研究, 其中有提及 XFree86的開發時期封閉的開發模式, 現在不在手上, 自己找找吧).
David 還提出新的開放源代碼樹開發模式可以得到更多人的參與, 更多的創造性和創新的好處.
後話:
看來只是開發模式的改變, 到目前為止, 沒有開發人員的去留消息.
