No, we dont need Nice - there is ETL and the Eiffel classes we need
we can find on FTP servers. So, why we need Nice ? - thats what you wanted
to say ?
At first only classes conforming to ELKS should be accepted - and they
should run under all ELKS conformant systems. If not, something is wrong (,-)
So these classes are not standard, but they have a stamp: approved - this
means they work. And they are in a independent catalog. for ftp - putting into
SIMTEL is not a bad idea. But thats only a tiny part of the work !
So we come back to the basic discussion and I have to ask 2 questions:
1. what do we exspect from Nice ?
2. how we can promote Nice & Eiffel ?
and a nice collection of clusters - maybe 100 or 1000 - with good indexes,
all working together, supplier independant - would like to use this ?
And would you like to join Nice to get access to this cluster ?
And would such cluster make a good impression on all these persons
telling you that C... languages are the only true things ?
