[ros-dev] scope?

[Aleksey Bragin]

	Hi Imre,
it would be nice if you could "port" it to Windows.

I'm currently considering some ideas in reactos project (to be  
discussed between reactos developers), but I like the idea of  
providing some utilities and maybe drivers (when we have some ready)  
in a standalone releases, so that we distinct alpha, beta and  
production-stage modules in our tree.

This should help maintaining the code in the repository, and, first  
of all, it's usable for people, who want to actually switch to  
*better* and opensource utilities.


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
