I apologize if I angered you in some way but I don't really
understand what you said- do you use some web translation tool?
Perhaps you didn't understand what I said either. To be clear,
Apple claims that the Darwin project is open source project when,
in fact, the processes behind the development of the project are
absolute secrets. Therefore, to make any contribution to the
Darwin project, you are one of the following:
1) an Apple employee
2) contributing a small, self-contained patch
2) someone that can anticipate Apple's next move before they make
it, thereby saving Apple development time and money
Cheers,

sorry but the base BSD is not secret ...
it's not the subject of my project request
and i 'm very happy we don't work together ...
I just used it to try to stay polished
second : there is no secret in dev , just work
I am afraid you are incorrect.
BSD and Darwin are not the same thing - I am sure you know that. If
you're talking about contributing to any of the BSDs, that is fine.
However, there is no easy or traditional way for normal people to
contribute changes to Darwin (and thus Mac OS X).
yep i know , and i know well xnu
we could find a serious way
If you are proposing to create such a way, I wish you the best of
luck. The OpenDarwin project tried to do just that and failed after
six years, even when numerous people from Apple itself were involved.
i'm sorry but opendarwin just tried with students and a few few real
devs and it was the problem
before building a port system try to improve the base system ,
drivers , sound layer ...
with a serious opensource foundation ,
it's like APCI , folks cry ... and cry
1 - the standard is "open"
2 - FreeBSD project has implemented this standard
3 - Linux project has implemented this standard
then it seems there is something wrong ...
It is a true statement to say that things related to Darwin itself
and open source projects at Apple are secret.
This does not allow others to contribute changes, because they do
not have access to the details of the development in a
collaborative way.
it's not that i ask : it's make a "parallel" work
and i understand well the Apple view
it 's a problem of confidence and quality
