Then we all have a problem.  To make MyHDL vibrant, we need a commercial class that goes to places like Hacker's Dojo in Silicon Valley and teaches newbies the material, and rapidly grows the community. 

I am not willing to put together such a class, if I have to do it all from scratch.  And I am not willing to do it using existing materials, if it means I have to open source the whole class.  Nor do I see anyone else even interested in creating the teaching materials.  Sure Chris Felton did a great job in creating the basic tutorials, but there is so much other work to create and market such a class.  And I do not see anyone doing it. 

So we all have a problem here.

Of course if someone shows up with lots of money great.  But the question is how do we harness the meager resources of this community to more rapidly build what is needed.  And frankly the current approach is not doing it, the conflict over the issues has been disastrous.   

So back to building my iPhone apps till all this gets sorted out.
