I would suggest that anyone who thinks we need a "Moho-like" open source program to create one of their own. With all of those free workers out there to make it better... should be pretty simple.larpon wrote:Besides that everything isn't about money these days, but also about helping out others and give other ideas for their work, innovation spawns the best programs, you get more innovation into your project if you open source it.. you've got loads of other programmers that's interested in improving your work, introducing new bugs or not.. you'll get free ideas and eventually a better program.
Don't even make a program... post an... empty text file that doesn't do anything... and just include a bunch of use cases... let someone else do all the work.
I kid... I'm just having some fun...
... but seriously. Why not bug Adobe to make Photoshop open source?
The Gimp isn't "open source Photoshop" but it's dang close... except for the convoluted interface.
We need a "MoGimpho".
I find open source applications in general have much WORSE gui's than paid software... only because I'm use to... standardized GUI's on the Mac. Win, Unix, Linux programs... they don't have guidelines for where things go. The GUI's are all over the place.
I always thought that was part of my "punishment" for using the "free stuff".
