Then you admit to writing from ignorance, and disqualify yourself from participating in the discussion. You (like everyone!) *must* inform yourself, and be constructive. Anything less is you wasting other peoples' time, which I will not accept. If you do not know xorn then you have not been paying the slightest attention to the work that Roland has been doing over quite some time now. You need to follow Peter C's advice and study this body of work before you open your mouth about it. I consider anything less that that unneccessary, useless, disturbing and disrespectful to this project, and if I observe that happening I will not hesitate for a second to argue very vocally for active refusal of your person from anything related to this project, and actually any other project as well. You need to be constructive, or simply not post. > It has new capabilities. I don't think that's really true. But more importantly, you state that you are ignorant about xorn, so you can't actually know what you are talking about here, so you are just generating noise. Stop that. Roland's goal for a xorn-based gnetlist is 1:1 compatibility with existing use cases. He is actively soliciting feedback about anything which does not yet work, and as can be seen from just the last few days, he's also stunningly responsive in addressing new situations. > It needs a new name. I don't think that's required, but as Peter C already pointed out it actually does have a new name already. I might have chosen another name (maybe xgnetlist) but I think gnetlist2 is fine. Kind regards //Peter
