Does anyone know if this pipedot coding is a one-man effort? If so, the guy is doing some pretty impressive work. Anybody remember the days of SkyOS when one guy basically just went coding-crazy at the keyboard and would lay in huge new sections of code - like USB support - kind of by himself? Too bad he burned out. This pipedot thing reminds me of a smaller version of that. The site looks great. Just needs more articles. Both Pipe and Soy at the moment have a high percentage of articles about their own progress. That's acceptable for a while at the beginning of a project but sooner or later it's time to get other content flowing. A year ago I'd volunteered to help at OSNews, and suggested to Thom that he designate a set of content curators, each providing articles about a certain area of interest (one Redhat guy, one Sun guy, one Android guy, or whatever). He didn't really go for it. I submitted articles for about two weeks and then gave up when a bunch of them got rejected. And it really annoyed me when articles I proposed got rejected, and then turned into huge discussions on other sites like Ars Technica. I kind of burned out after that - who wouldn't? Thanks to wjlwlsn for proposing our RSS feed as one of the standard feeds - I hope he takes us up on it!

Awesome! In a way, that makes us all sort of one community, loosely tied together by common interests. I dig it.
