Re: [Syllable-developer] UDI for Syllable

[Jerry M. <cra...@gm...>]

That is not the point of view I'm looking at. Many big name hardware
companies support/advocate UDI, so that is not a problem. The idea is to
get the ball rolling and create another project that creates OSS/FS
drivers for UDI.

Linux/GNU.

With a large body of up to date UDI drivers with source available, new
startup OS wouldn't have to go through the trouble of reinventing the
wheel, writing drivers all over again. A bunch of wasted time and effort.

The idea is to establish an official UDI implementation early on... then
wait for Syllable to gather market share.
