I had an Object Oriented Analysis and Development (OOAD) course in my 7th sem. The stuff Mr. Unny talks about is right out of that - use cases, test cases, flow charts and the grand-daddy - UML. I believed (and still believe) that such obsessive documentation is a coverup for bad software. He is also very infatuated with SDKs. And dis-illusioned with Open Source software mailing lists and developers. We all can vouch for both - there have been many a times that both lists and developers have responded positively to my pleas for help. Maybe he forgot a certain stellar article of how NOT to post to a list or ask a developer and what to do BEFORE asking them.
Mr. Unny should be asked to give details of the bug reports he has filed, if his post has any truth in it.
Also, the PCQLinux team should give up trying to make PCQL mimic the look and feel of other OSs specially, Windows. It seems their issues with Anaconda and the "start menu equivalent" came up because of that. Again, for a custom built (or any other) distro, don't we start with the kernel and then move out? AFAIK, most distros start their specifications with their kernel numbers; so I guess thats the thing distro-builders fix first.
