Lobster, any clues?
unfortunately/more correctly, fortunately, that is in the hands of the developer, so all this is just posturing & clubbing, seeing if camps can be set up IMHOThe important thing is to maintain the flexibility of a Developer led distro not a 'rule by committee' that decides what needs to be done but is incapable of implementing anything . . .
Sometimes the reader should be able to tell if the crustacean is just having fun (note that the big jump forward for a shrimp is backward).Lobster: If the 2.xx series incorporates some of the 4.xx updates, then it might be possible for 4.2 to be 2.xx based?
4.3 to be 3.xx based?
I can't keep up with all this constant drama...
* Easy puppy apps access, eg.a single bz2 file or on sourceforge
Deep Thought is based on Puppy 4.11 (not yet available - which is the patched version of 4.1)
Current plan:
* Update the 'P' series programs and utils, eg. Petch
* Use of default webpage
* Puppy 'included software' upgrades eg. Mtpaint
* Easy puppy apps access, eg.a single bz2 file or on sourceforge
* Improved eye candy as available eg. Zigbert scheme
Usually it takes much more energy to harmonize several people's views than to actually reach a given scope; not surprisingly, 99% of known masterpieces come from just one man's mind. Although many other people have contributed to it since its birth, I still see Barry's Puppy Linux basically as a one-man masterpiece.cb88: I can't keep up with all this constant drama...

where a 'quorum' isThe Compact Oxford Dictionary wrote:quorate
• adjective Brit. (of a meeting) attended by a quorum.
I agree with your sentiment actually, which is why I think that Lobster's early suggestion that we move in small steps is valuable. It would help establish a methodology where what works is retained, what fails is dropped, and the in-between is refined. We can think bigger thoughts later when a working model is established.The Compact Oxford Dictionary wrote:quorum
• noun (pl. quorums) the minimum number of members of an assembly or society that must be present at a meeting to make the proceedings valid.

My plan was that the numbering would go back to having a dot between each digit.raffy wrote:Perhaps it is 4.12? Barry has mentioned his intention to create 4.2 many times already. If 4.10 gets updated for last-minute problems, then 4.11 will be released.
Just my 0.02c.
