Its a linear thing,First you need an Idea...................

Perhaps a thought?
Then you proceed!
If you resent Butch for his efforts,well Change the channel?
We really don't need thought police!

No, of course, I don't resent Butch. All I'm saying is that we should follow the right perspective about open source.

Good!
Hopefully we'll get to see what Open Source
Really means someday!

So we can actually get a perspective!

A working device, doing actual work!
Fully disclosed!For all to benefit!
Wouldn't that guy/gal be some kind of hero?

He or she would most certainly be.

I don't think open source is sharing ideas about how something may work. Open source in my book is to have a really working device and help everybody else with sharing all the details to have it reproduced independently. Ideas have no value in this field, the actual working device does.

Maybe we can work this out like adults. How about this we agree that there will be two types of open sourcing, Theory Open Sourcing and Working Device Open Sourcing?
The person states at the begining which class his work falls into. If one doesn't like working with theory then he stays off the thread by choice.
Every tree starts with a seed, we need all the ideas we can get.
We also need help in getting the working device verified and to market.
Each of these needs a place to be accepted and grow.
Thanks,
Butch
