OK, good point.<br>I guess what frustrates a lot of people (myself including) is that we don't have spare human power to work on both projects (at the moment).<br>I'm interested in FSO, so knowing that potential developers looking to work on some open source phone stack might go to work on ofone project is not warming. Same goes for funding part as well.<br>
<br>I guess when gnome and kde just started it's developing a lot of people felt like the effort should be combined not divided. But look where are we now :) So in the long term it's a good thing.<br><br><br>Leonti<br>

Yeap, and this is a shame.<br>
FSO is great as it is - with more love (especially rewriting essential parts into Vala) it could be the base for all Open Source telephony.<br>
I just don't get it.<br>
But at least FSO is independent! :)<br>

It's about control. Do you think Nokia and Intel will allow someone else to control their telephony stack development?<br>
It's also about regulatory commissions, certifications and being able to get operators to buy into the software. Besides, how do you know FSO was the first being developed?<br>
<br>
What I don't get is why people think it's bad to have more than one open source 'solution'. If reinventing the wheel was bad, we<br>
wouldn't have KDE, gnome, gtk, and even python, FSO and Linux, for that matter. Reinventing the wheel, is _good_.<div><div></div><div><br>

To me it looks as if they already started to reinvent the wheel...<br>
<br>
Or am I wrong?<br>
