Re: [Cdk-devel] CDK/JChemPaint releases

[Tomas P. <pl...@oi...>]

I see, my bad, I thought that CDK and JChemPaint are being developed by the same people.


Whatever that means!?

What I meant was... Egon is clearly the leader of the CDK project, yet he does not seem to know the current status of JChemPaint development.
Therefore at least leadership-wise the two projects seem to be separated (of course I understand the developer groups overlap).
There is nothing wrong with that, it just slightly adds to the confusion - JChemPaint being published in the same folder with CDK (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdk/files/), and CDK code being included in JChemPaint releases..


So the good old Zork rule applies - if you want something done, do it yourself :-)

Indeed, I understand that.. I also work on open-source.
My message was simply that if the leaders of CDK/JChemPaint could spend a bit of effort cleaning up the historical mess, it would enable other people to join the development more easily and actually implement what they want done :)
I am not saying it is impossible to implement things in the current state, I just think it turns people off... which is a pity for such useful projects as CDK and JChemPaint.

Best regards,

Tomas
