To the extent that the effect is to create a portable binary format, I expect that the FSF would say "no, this is not a good idea at all!". This is because they seem to promote the sharing and modification of source code, not bytecodes for .Net or JVM. Others might disagree. You might have better luck working with the Mono developers if you're a .NET champion. > You should understand that it is not the best way of handling of other > people work with a way that in the very first email other people work > is treated as to be not worthy. As you did with libJIT and my work. You have responded to all criticism by taking it personally and replying with a hostile attitude. That's tended to produce hostility in response. There really aren't many successful free software projects where the response to a newcomer proposing a different approach is to say, "Yes, thank you! We will implement your ideas and commit your patches instantly! It's beautiful just the way you presented it! Just make more vague suggestions and we'll code it right up for you!" Rather, the burden is on you as the proposer to convince skeptics, and, for difficult changes, contribute actual patches, but be willing to change those patches based on critiques from reviewers. Skepticism is key to quality control.
