Interesting that this thread would show up now...
Last week, I was in Mountain View for something called the Developer's
Advisory Forum, where a series of issues facing developers were
discussed. No, this was never announced to the general public, I think that
they just picked a sample of smaller developers (ie. those that do not have
SGI engineers sitting on site all the time) from a variety of fields and
invited us out. Anyway, one of the things discussed was software tools and
they were mentioning purify as the ultimate solution. I pointed out that
purify did not work with performer, which appeared to be news to the
developer's group.
Also, I greatly extolled info-performer as the type of information resource
that they would do well to emulate in other areas.
If anyone has any other questions about what went on at that meeting, I would
be happy to share information. The main gist of the day was that one of the
major problems impacting an SGI developer was access to information. Soon
(perhaps around May or June), we should see more avenues of access available
to developers.
