Re: Open Delphi?

for example. I can think of few developers I've met that I'd want maintaining
Delphi, to be honest.

That means you don't hang out enough on #fpc maillists and irc's :-)

Of course the definition of maintaining may vary.

I think with such a project you will get an enormous conflict between users
and devels that merely want to merely keep apps running, and ones that move forward
(new features, new OSes, .NET versions etc)

The problem here is that the first are the biggest group, but magnitudes
less likely to contribute anything, while for the second, it is the other
way around.
