Interview with Mercurial's Matt Mackall
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently, Mercurial author Matt Mackall has
| decided to try to devote his full time to
| working on the distributed source control tool.
| He's doing this by seeking funding from
| companies that use Mercurial or sell Mercurial-
| based products.
|
| [...]
|
| OStatic: Do you have any plans for promoting
| Mercurial in addition to the development work
| to try to boost adoption & contributions?
|
| Frankly, no. I'm not much interested in
| evangelizing. Mercurial is successful enough
| that I just don't have time for it, let alone
| motivation. As for contributions, there are
| already more than I can manage in my available
| time, and so a large part of this efforts is to
| free up more of my time for that.

| In the current economic climate what do you
| think is the best way to keep existing
| customers happy and encourage them to spend
| more with you?
|
| Introduce some special offers perhaps? Add
| extra value to your products and services? Be
| even more nice than you are normally?
|

|
| Just think about that for a moment. That's
| 100,000,000 individual downloads of a free
| product, the alternative legacy application
| from Microsoft will soon cost you Â430. Oh
| yes, and those 100,000,000 downloads happened
| in a year and 16 days...
