Open Source project idea needs interested developers

Posted by Frank Hale on 1999-10-03

In the recent light of Jaz's
announcement that he wants to shutdown
NAO. Its come to my realization that we
need an open sourced NAO. An NAO which
the users control 100%. Not just
suggesting ideas, news and being
moderators, But being developers,
controllers of its destiny. No more one
person closed source development but a
true community open sourced project for
the benefit of anyone interested.

Would there be any interest in an open
sourced (GPL'd) NAO? I'm not talking
about asking Jaz to release NAO's code.
What I am talking about is creating a
new open sourced NAO clone with all the
features you've come to enjoy from the
real NAO. This project would be open
sourced (GPL'd) from the very beginning
allowing anyone and everyone to view,
modify, trash, eat, give away, the code
in anyway they desire. 

This project is not a one programmer
project. I am looking for interested
programmers who would be willing to
contribute. If there is no interest then
it cannot be done.
