Hi,
It seems "osclass.discourse.group" is gone? Removed?
Not that i care because it was useless, still it may means something ......
Or it may come up again, who knows.
Yeap, it seems it is gone for good. Is that a curse or something with Osclass? Osclass org forums were gone just like that.
Who knows and who cares. That "forum" has provided zero value anways.
Hi,
Does anyone have more details on this? Not that i care about the specific forum, but i care about the future of that release channel in general (version 5, Mindstellar, or whatever the name is).
@tycho-brahe Hey, hi there ! Long time no see !
Apparently that forum/group is gone for ever. And the developer didn't spend 1 minute to inform the so called "community" about it and explain the reasons.
@tycho-brahe That release didn't have a future to begin with.
This became clear to me after v3.9.0, when I saw huge blocks of code being moved and refactored.
Osclass as a system has pretty much the complexity of WordPress (a little less), and taking into consideration that WP has literally hundreds of devs working on it, and it's still full of bugs, what chance do you think a 1-man project had considering how complex and time-consuming the refactoring is? 😀
And I'm talking from a hands-on experience with Osclass Enterprise, which is under development for over 2 years now, and I'm still finding stuff that needs fixing and improving... And I'm not refactoring anything, just fixes and improvements.
So Mindstellar actually needed a small army to restart the project and give it a future, a thing impossible to find after the huge Osclass shutdown fiasco.
@tango Of cource it had a future, ALL versions/releases after 3.9 are BASED in Navjot's work. Osclasspoint, the russian guys, yours i guess also. The work he has done is tremendous. And impossible for one person of cource.
Also the big "shifting" of files and folder was AFTER 3.9. Until 3.9 the compatibility was 99%. After 3.9 ... he lost it completely.
Osclasspoint is also one man? We have no idea who and how many they are. But he has a business behind it.
Navjot failed for other reasons, let's not expand on this.
1. My version is based on the Vanilla 3.8.0, with cherry-picked stuff from all available sources + my own. That's the beauty of it. 😋
2. OsclassPoint is 1 man, but he didn't do much refactoring, like I mentioned in my previous post. He just added/fixed/modified stuff based on Mindstellar 3.9.0 + his own.
And yes, he is incentivized to do it as he runs his business on it. Hence, the new Marketplace integrated in the backend (a thing I personally hate), external calls to his own API (which I also hate) etc.
3. Navjot failed because he took a huge responsibility (to completely rebuild Osclass) that was too much to handle for 1 individual, no matter how talented he is.
It's sad, really.
