[ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [sedwards] 40919: imported the MT snapshot of the GPL tftp-server for win32 from sourceforge. Minor changes such as formatting and renaming the files, totally untested except for building, will be used later to serve up Reac

[Alexandru Lovin]

Would it be possible to do it after ReactOS already relaces Windows, it's
stable, smaller memory footprint, etc. ? I mean, by then everyone will be so
excited about it, everybody would have already heard of it (definitely) and
they would already be keen to help or something. At which point the devs
pull out a list of things that should be done right: a,b,c, d, etc.
James Tabor: I need to warn you that this will take years to do right. We
already learned to live with the feeling of knowing this only works on ROS.

I'm thinking ROS will have fanboys who will come hungry to help someone so
that they're noticed.

Mr. Tabor, your thoughts ?
