- I would prefer to see it produced with at least one or two
open-source components in the chain (seems that all the
process steps are done on proprietry software - and why
not? Most Unices are proprietry...)
- what to do about patches/upgrades (ie. can I extend it with
next years additions to the history? And the year after?
Will it look dated and crap in 5 years?)
Maybe we can make up a similar diagram, possibly of the history
of Linux distributions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gldt.svg
and put that up somewhere...
Cheers,
Bob Edwards.
