100 reasons to boycott Amiga : Comment 29 of 72 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Mika Hanhijärvi on 19-Mar-2002 08:35 GMT | I think those guys who are now boycotting Amiga inc don't know or understamd how reallife software industry and development works. Those guys say it's bad that Amiga inc concentrates on AmigaAnywhere and lets Hyperion do all the work for OS4. It's normal in softarwe industry that you share the work. In most cases you simply don't have resources to do everything by yourself. Sahring the work and splitting projects into smaller sub-projects is much more efficient way to work. Thatway signle developer/company is responsible for much smaller part of the project and can work much efficiently. That's why most of the reallife software projects are divided to projects and subprojects. in many cases subprojects are then divided into even smaller subprojects. Ofcourse people in different subprojects need to share information and work together. You need to have project management. Okey AmigaAnywhere is a separate product, but it's going to be integrated to OS4 too. So you can also think it as a subproject for OS4. It seems to me that AmigaInc is responsible of AmigaAnywhere and higherlevel AmigaOS project management. It's their OS anyway. AmigaOS project is also divided to many subprojects to many subcontractors. Hyperion is responsible for core of the AmigaOS and other most important parts of the OS. Hyperion also seems to be the manager of AmigaOS project. Hyperion works closer to developers so they are responsible for lower level management. This is how I see it and I don't think there is nothing strange going on. it seems to me normal professional software project, nothing else. |
