Frustration 1

[Dennis Marer]

Hi Moosers,

	Well, I'm frustrated.  Half of me wants to throw in the towel.  It
seems like that we've accomplished very little so far!  Frankly, I've got no
idea what the next steps or decisions we should make are, so I'm going to
collect *all* of the information we've generated so far, go home, and start
writing.  Over the next several weeks, I'm going to be working on what things
I envision for this operating system of ours.  This will be a lot of my
opinions, influenced by things we've discussed here - don't get me wrong,
there have been a lot of great ideas but almost no organization.  This will
be revision 2 of the specs and it will seek to organize our thoughts.  It's
going to take a while to finish to my satisfaction - I'm not going to promise
any dates.

	It takes too much for me to try to explain all of my ideas in this
system in small pieces (I.E., a little bit each mail message).  I'm going to
try and put *all* of my ideas into a single document, from which we can work.
I rushed the first revision of the specs just to get some discussion going and
now its time for me to go back and start from scratch again.

	Keep discussion going, definitely!  I'm still reading all the mails,
and as new ideas come up I'll use them in the document where appropriate.
I'm not quitting yet, just will be less active in discussion until I have
defined on paper what I believe is what I want in an operating system.
