Actually there are two MP3 decoder projects and one even has files for
download. I think the "me too" emails show the ignorance of those people
to even try to find something on the open cores page.
That brings me to some thoughts I have bee pondering about recently. It
is in a way a jump of thought, but it also has to do with it, in the way
of how many people are there to contribute to this community and how
many are only taking advantage of it.
I guess the logic development cannot be compared with the software
development, but I was just wondering when looking how vibrant
sourceforge is, what makes it that way and what can be done to get open
cores in that direction too?
One simple difference is the amount of people starting projects on
sourceforge, but maybe there is a way of adding features to open cores
that would attract more people to start and also finish projects?
I think finishing a project is quite different between software and
logic projects. The software is never finished, but everybody uses it
already, it just reaches a certain version with certain features. With
the logic there is a defined state where you put the stamp "done" to it.
Mostly only then it really can be used.
But then there seems to be a difference between open cores and
sourceforge and that is in the amount of projects that get started but
never make it over the planning state. Maybe I am wrong and sourceforge
has that too?
