Right. The phrase 'reinventing the wheel' is easy to misunderstand. The practice it skewers is the one of going into an area and coming up with your best effort at it from first principles, without looking at what others have achieved first. Essentially, if you're 'reinventing the wheel', the mistake you're making is that you are failing to stand on the shoulders of any handy giants that are around. You should always look around for some giants before you start out. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
