Alice is not a remake because, for one, the movie was never made and two, its a return to Neverland. This time its her own choice, not accident.

The fact is, or better still part of the problem is even though I’ve studied English since my early days in school I still write in Italian first here on the blog, then I translate my posts in English.

And the two languages, Italian and English, tend to be very different in many cases so the translation isn’t always good. Anyway my last translated-posts should be a lot better, and I’m trying to improve day by day

This european project combines several people coming from various horizons and countries, with different opinions, some of them working for private companies or national institutions that sometimes have their own idea about how all of this should be leaded. So I think I can understand why the echoes we have are a bit fuzzy and/or messy sometimes…

However, don’t get fooled : some of these people used to have dirt on their hands and they do not spit on hobbyists’ work, as they belong to these hobbyists for a long time now. Even if the final result of KEEP project may not necessarily be as ambitious as some expected, it may directly or indirectly open the way for new technologies for a better management of the bunch of digital data that pile up in national libraries. It may also help hobbyists having their own emulators being recognized by national institutions (and not re-done from scratch ! On what elements such statements are based ?!).

So I think a more qualified point of view may be necessary waiting for the final result of the project to be known.

remark: by the way, thinking that the project targets as using Java as an emulation platform is another crazy statement…

Aah, I see they do explicitly list a section for “emulators”, but this still doesn’t explicitly say they’re using emulation projects external to themselves.

That page also gets a bit more technical, but it still doesn’t talk about not duplicating efforts. It’s talking as though all those issues weren’t solved long ago.
